I've never worked with Tomcat, but Tomcat got some limitations. 

From the Apache Tomcat Documentation:
Tomcat is not an EJB server because it's not a full J2EE server. Tomcat is a Servlet container which does support those parts of the J2EE specification that are required for Servlets, such as a subset of JNDI functionality. 

Some of the differences this implies is...
- Tomcat does not support any types of EJBs (like Session Beans, MDBs, Timers, etc.)
- Tomcat has no JPA support
