hmm that's not exactly what i said Alex :p on a project you generally have N (>5) developpers using the container to develop (let say with tomee-maven-pugin or WTP or something else...)
then when it is about production you have 2-3 people configuring the server then it can be deployed in cluster automatically from the config. So my statement is the config work in dev is > the prod one So IMO it should work out of the box in dev then the prod should adapt the conf. That's for instance what we do about datasources: we provide some default datasources to let people use JPA out of the box then in production you configure your real datasource, your pooling etc...
