[OKC JUG] Guidance

Ok, for the record, I'm not a jboss fan. I think it's to obtuse to figure
simple things out - like what are my jndi mappings, for example. However,
I have watch glassfish eat memory like kids eat candy (thus my comment
about it being huge). That being said, I'm still a bit of fan. I prefer
jetty for development and glassfish for a production deployment. So, maybe
I'm just agreeing with an option to use jetty. YMMV
