Hi, From my personal point of view, I prefer Resin because its philosophy suits me better as it is more open and flexible, meaning it usually accomodates different ways of doing things. OTOH, GlassFish is for me more "opinionated" and it tries to guide you on how you should do things, so if you deviate from the norm you are usually on your own with scarce documentation and no support because nobody tried that.
Similarly, Resin's community of users is smaller but they are usually more hardcore and knowledgeable, as they have to survive Resin's documentation ;) and have to choose their own path from the multiple ones allowed by Resin, but GlassFish is more popular which makes it easier for newcomers to start with, as they have more basic guides, it integrates "transparently" with IDES (meaning they don't have to have a clue about what's going on) etc. With that I don't want to imply that users of one server are better/smarter/whatever than users of the other, just that I think they are geared towards different markets, with both its benefits and drawbacks.
