CNN reporter Jessica Yellin has probably heard a lot of compliments during her career, which has included stints at ABC and MSNBC.

Web developers have many options for the servlet containers they use to host Java apps. Included in these choices are both classic proprietary and a host of open source containers. For the typical Java application developer, the container that holds one or more Java applications together is fairly transparent. From a non-techy’s perspective, servlet containers are largely redundant. The feature sets often overlap, so it seems to make little difference whether Java developers build on Apache Tomcat, Jetty, JBoss or WebObjects.
