You don't describe in detail the particular errors you are seeing, so
it's hard to be specific. However, one thing that will definitely
affect portability in your scenario is that JSWDK supports servlet API
version 2.1, whereas Apache JServ supports servlet API version 2.0. If
your servlet utilizes any 2.1-only features, it will (of course) not
work under Apache JServ.
Portability only works for the same versions of the software you are
using. A servlet that works under JSWDK should work (without
recompiling) on any servlet engine supporting the 2.1 API. It is up to
you to ensure that you have selected a compatible platform.
