"Stop using Tomcat and wondering why JEE "doesn't work." You're doing yourself a big disservice. Start thinking about JBoss AS 6, or GlassFish v3 - Yes, I know, it's a "Full JEE Container," - it's "Heavy," but with JEE6, that's not a bad thing: It all "Just works" and it works really well. Trust me, the reason people have thought Java EE sucks, is because they try to do this stuff on Tomcat, and say "Why doesn't (JPA, JMS, JTA, EJB, JSF, CDI) work?" Well… that's because Tomcat only gives you Servlet - the Request/Response lifecycle. So people install all these things manually, or try to, and then say, "Wow, Java EE is really hard to use, shit, I'm gonna use Spring or Grails instead.""
