I think we won't be able to standardize on a common container API due to the schedule constraints in JAX-RS 2.0, but in general it is a very good suggestion. Can you please file a new Jira issue for the future reference?

For that, I can use several proprietary APIs to launch and embedded servlet container and expose my services. I was reading the JAX-RS 2.0 specification and couldn't see and standard API for the web container (such as EJBContainer in EJB 3.1). It would be great to have a standard WebContainer API that would allow us to deploy a REST service in a standard way.
