That is more an Application design issue. In short, there are
incompatibilities across the various containers.
So if you are developing a cross-container application, the simpler it
is the more chances of less re-configuration on different containers.
However that may be contradictory as more requirements usually results
in more complexities.
Simple difference, is JNDI. The following are differences in calling a
jdbc object called defaultDS:
Tomcat/Jetty: java:comp/env/jdbc/defaultDS
Orion(Oracle-OC4J)/Tomcat: jdbc/defaultDS
JBoss: java:/defaultDS
Weblogic: defaultDS
And this is just one of the many differences. More off the top of my
head, EJBs, Virtual Hosting configuration, etc.
Some containers also require container specific XML descriptor in the
application e.g. jboss.xml, etc.

Subject: Tomcat vs (other container) compatibility
Hi,
Just wondering if there is anyone who has been or is involved in
cross JEE container work, how compatible are tomcat apps with other
commercial apps such as OC4J, Websphere, BEA and so on? If you
don't use tomcat specific things, does it "just work", I ask
because the compatibility issue might come up at work.
Heres an article from IBM site
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0511_li1/0511_li1.html
I have put quite a few TC servlets onto Glassfish... no problem.
no wonder, Glassfish uses TC as servlet container!
Actually I think Glassfish uses a fork of the tomcat code from some
point in the past. As long as the servlet spec is followed, I would
think the servlets would work in either place.
