Use Application Server based User management or Custom User management?

I'm following the Java EE 6 tutorial and I'm reading the part related to security.

In the examples, the user management is done using the features provided with the Glassfish server. Is this the usual method used to manage users in Java EE?

Is it possible to use mechanisms such as e-mail based user account creation (password sent via email) etc. by using this method? If not, what alternative mechanism/library do you recommend for user account management?
