Logically, every Web Service Stack needs a Container, but not every EJBContainer needs a Web Service Stack.
I should state more clearly what I mean by this. CMP/BMP EntityBeans or Stateful SessionBeans will not have a Web Service Stack, neither will Stateless SessionBeans that only have Local or Remote interfaces.
In fact, in the case where people are just chatting from Servlets to EJB's through Local interfaces, we don't need any protocol stacks at all, e.g. no CORBA, no EJBd, no HTTP/SOAP. This is partly why it weirds me out to add protocol specific things into the GenericEJBContainer class.
