Yeah. The right thing is hosting providers offering Java application servers or equivalent. Unfortunately there are political and commercial reasons that's not happening.

Still, there are worse container/host interfaces. It could be the full suite of POSIX system calls.

Why would a Java application server provided by the host be better than the full suite of POSIX system calls?

My sense is the set of "system calls" (i.e. `native` functions) is smaller and more rigorously specified.
