You should get enterprise-proven horizontal services such as transaction management, security integration, caching, pooling, clustering (for either failover or load balancing). This is the part that allows you to concetrate on business logic If you are lucky you also get access to some value-adds such as a business process management framework, distributed and remote debugging tools.
