Depends on who you ask :-) Application server usually means a J2EE
implementation which support things such as EJBs, message services,
transaction monitors, database pools (and a servlet container).

A servlet container, as the name implies, is a service that can be used
to host servlets. 

So while applications can run using only a servlet container, an
"application server" typically means a servlet container and a lot of
extra services which you may or (most likely) may not need.....
