the only point I can remember regarding different containers is:
to migrate an application from one container to another is "hell"..
doesn't matter from which container to which one.. I tried between
Glassfish and JBoss.. and it is really a difficult task...
for me, it is surprising because all containers are Java EE 5
compliant servers, but the steps required to adapt persistence and
configuration files are a mess..
a dream: a tool that do this conversion automatically, or an "import
project" feature..
this would be very nice..
