you should consider opening a bottle of beer as it is just much less painful to develop simple (spring powered) web applications with a jetty and a tomcat instead of struggling with EJBs and application servers. Trust me ;-)
I think your development efficiency will increase as you'll probably have faster deployment/development cycles without all the ejb overhead. In terms of runtime / production performance I don't think that a pure tomcat setup is that much faster - but it will consume a lot less of resources - thats for sure.
