OpenAM has two separate stores, a User Store, where users and all the accompanying properties are stored and a Configuration Store, which holds the configuration. There is a database User Store, which is available in OpenAM however I have never tried it. The SO question you were pointing to was referring primarily to the config store, which while LDAP only, is embedded in OpenAM (so doesn't require direct management).

Personally I am a fan of Tomcat over Glassfish, as it is a fast and light Servlet container, without all the associated bloat which goes with a full J2EE container.
