Well then, J2EE compliant app server vendors cannot differentiate their servers other than thru performance ?
I find that hard to believe.

I suppose it is because the entire purpose of the J2EE spec is to get rid of conditional logic based on a vendor's app server.  On the app servers I deal with the underlying concrete classes implementing interfaces like HttpRequest are actually vendor provided.  You could use instanceof checks, type cast, and then use whatever non-J2EE features you want to on the vendor implementations.

Uh....hate to ask a stupid question, but why wasn't the vendor-info
standardized in the J2EE spec ?

If I need to implement conditional logic based on a vendor's app server, how
can it be done ?
Create a session-scoped attribute with the appserver designation read from a
pre-set properties file or what ?
