Does GlassFish servlet container use that catalina?

I am running the same servlet application in both Apache Tomcat and GlassFish servers. I wanted to see the ServletConfig and ServletContext implementation class names. Surprisingly, I found that GlassFish is also using from Apache Tomcat's catalina classes. Is my observation correct? If yes, why isn't GlassFish using its own servlet implementation classes?

According to this FAQ entry the Glassfish web container is a fork of Tomcat 5.5. Therefore it uses the same package names, although Tomcat's code has evolved a lot since the fork.
