what are the key features that makes a difference between your book and other books that covers Java EE development?
why did you choose Glassfish as the application server when you decided to write the book?

Thank you!

First of all, as mentioned elsewhere, Tomcat is not comparable, as it is a servlet container, not a general application server.
The Java application server world has four main players. IBM offers WebSphere and BEA has WebLogic. You have to pay for these. There are two open-source freebies: JBoss and Glassfish.
There is a JBoss plugin for Eclipse. Glassfish is better integrated with NetBeans (doesn't even need a plugin).
Glassfish comes from Sun, so is "official." It is the "reference implementation" for web services.
However, my professor opines that JBoss is the "best of the bunch."

Yavor,
The main reasons for choosing GlassFish are:
100% Java EE 5 compliance Performance Ease of use Price
Tomcat is not a full blown application server, it is a servlet container. With Tomcat alone it is not possible to deploy applications taking advantage of EJBs or other Java EE technologies except Servlets, JSPs or JSF.
The latest version of Webshpere is not compliant with the Java EE 5 specification (and, as previously pointed out, Webshpere is not open source).
GlassFish beat both Weblogic and Webshpere in the SPECjAppServer 2004 benchmark.
GlassFish itself is free, support is available from Sun at very competitive prices.
Hope that helps,
David

I don't know what your source is, but Yahoo Quotes states that Sun's stock closed at $20.65 today.
Additonally, Sun makes money in Java EE licensing from IBM and Weblogic, therefore it benefits from their success as well.
Besides, I wouldn't worry too much about any particular company making/not making money and just be glad that I get tons of high quality products for free.
