Well, technically there is no difference between the servlet case and the
application case. You can start up JServ with the -Djdbc.driver argument,
allthough I wouldn't recommend it.

Apache JServ is only one example of how configuration is done. The new
servlet APIs have better deployment specification than what you find in 2.0
API that JServ implements.
