Embedded Glassfish for Unit Test is much closer to "real world" than Jetty. EJB, JMS and JTA simply don't work on lightweight Web Containers. I tried it in maven project and get success after some troubles. Here is my configuration.

Maven repositories:

    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>gfe</id>
            <url>http://maven.glassfish.org/content/groups/glassfish/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

and dependency:

     <dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.embedded</groupId>
            <artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
            <version>3.0-Prelude-Embedded-b10</version>            
        </dependency> 

If you use Hibernate you should do some hack with its dependencies because asm's versions conflict:

 <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
            <version>3.2.6.ga</version>
            <exclusions>
             <exclusion>
              <groupId>cglib</groupId>
              <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
             </exclusion>
             <exclusion>
              <groupId>asm</groupId>
              <artifactId>asm</artifactId>
             </exclusion>             
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
         <groupId>cglib</groupId>
         <artifactId>cglib-nodep</artifactId>
         <version>2.2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>asm</groupId>
            <artifactId>asm</artifactId>
            <version>3.1</version>            
        </dependency>        

Now we ready to write some code:

 // Starting web container
 EmbeddedInfo info = new EmbeddedInfo();
 info.setServerName("GF Embed");
        info.setHttpPort(gfPort);
        info.setVerbose(true);
        info.setLogging(true);
        gfServer = new Server(info);        
        gfServer.start();
        
        Properties prop = new Properties();
 //Setting datasource
        prop.setProperty("DEFAULT", "src/main/resources/datasource/SSO_DataSources.xml");
        
 //Here we need to copy resource dtd file, because somewhy embedded glassfish hasn't it
        File dtdDir = new File("gfe/lib/dtds");
        dtdDir.mkdirs();
        String dtdFile = "sun-resources_1_3.dtd";
        FileUtils.copy(new File(dtdFile), new File(dtdDir, dtdFile));
        
        gfServer.getCommandExecutor().execute("add-resources", prop);
        System.out.println("Hello");
        
 //Deploying war-file here
        gfServer.getDeployer().deploy(new File("target/card-service-web-1.05.009.war"));
        
 //... DO SOME WORK
 gfServer.stop();

Almost all. One bad thing is that we must use certain version of application descriptors. I coudn't figure what sun-web.xml must be (so I kicked it off) but web.xml must contain such header:

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
  xmlns:j2ee="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.4"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

That's it. Enjoy full functionality of efficient webserver in a single JVM.
