David, I've been doing some research into this as well and some of the
differences that I've seen so far include:
- app servers provide a more sophisticated environment than a servlet
runner. Most of the app servers are either already or are going to be
supporting the entire JPE including EJB's , JNDI, JSP, Servlets, etc.
- app servers provide built-in functionality such as load balancing and
server fail-over
-app servers include database connection pooling.
- app servers have a higher purchase price - I believe that BEA's app server
is one the less expensive servers
