RE: what is the extra feature of WAS 6.x compared to WAS 5.x???
 
Quick answer is besides the JDK 1.4.2 from 1.3, 5x has WsInstance implemenation for multiple servers whereas 6x implements profiles that are better manageable and maintainable.
5x only creates separate configuration of the JVM but else everything is shared between server instances.
On 6x each profile can be managed independently without affecting the others. This helps in running different versions of you app in the same environment. So you could have a Dev, QA and Stage environment in the same server.
6x provides a distinct separation between product binary files and all instances of user data, all of which is encapsulated in one or more profiles
Deployment tool in 5x is replaced by PCTool (Profile Config tool)

Hope this helps.
