The short technical answer is that it depends on the jboss5 pojo framework.

I'm new to JBoss, so I don't really know what JEMS is or what the implications of that link are, but it does seem that the JBoss team may have made choices to couple the Portal to JBoss in ways that are not an immediate consequence of the standards or lack of standards. The decision was made early on in the project to focus on JBoss AS, for reasons of resource-usage. It was much easier for us to focus on one container and do it well than focus on 5 containers and do it poorly with the fixed amount of resources we originally had. Aside from developing the portal, we have to hand the portal code over to our QA labs for testing. It also becomes a resource-usage issue then.
