[weld-dev] rationale for JTA/JPA questions - trying to add JPA support to archetypes

[Dan Allen]

There's also the issue of injecting an EntityManager (@PersistenceContext)
in Tomcat/Jetty, which, to my knowledge, there is no solution (apart from
EJB lite). Yes, the servlet containers are deficient, so what we are
essentially doing is migrating users to the Web Profile from Tomcat/Jetty.
