Differences between Java application servers
I would like to know what are the main differences between the GlassFish, JBoss and Apache Tomcat application servers. Is there any specific aspect that I should check before choosing any to start development? Are there significant differences in performance and safety between them? The main difference I found during a search was that Apache Tomcat is not EJB server...

JBoss (now Wildfly) and Glassfish are Oracle approved application servers to support Jee(Java Enterprise Edition).
Tomcat is a servlet container and partially supports the JEE specifications, in the case of Servlet, JDBC, JNDI and others.
Which one should I choose?
If the project is all based on JEE and uses specifications that Tomcat does not support native, such as CDI JTA, EJB, JMS it is better to use Wildfly or Glassfish.
