Hi The server become web server If it's only having a web container.If It comes with both web & J2EE containers then its called Application server.Simply if you can deploy only War application(JSP/Servlet). its a web server and if you can deploy both war & Ear applications(jsp/Servlet & EJBs) in your server.Then it is Application server.
Based on that concept Tomcat : web container as well as perform as web server(special funtionality) Apache :web container (because it only contains web container) websphere :Application Server( contains both J2EE & web containers) Jboss : Application Server( contains both J2EE & web containers) Thanks Asanka, whether application server or web server On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 1:12 PM, Anthony Lam <anthonycklamp...@hotmail.com>wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to clarify the concept behind Application server and Web > server.
