Liferay Portal supports many different application servers and
servlet containers. Liferay Portal Enterprise requires a fully
compliant J2EE application server whereas Liferay Portal Professional
can run in a simple servlet container.
If
you need to build EJBs, use Liferay Portal Enterprise; otherwise, it is
highly recommended that you use Liferay Portal Professional. The source code and JavaDoc API is identical in both versions.
