You need application server if you are using a 3 tier architecture to gain
performance and scalability. Web server talks to application server,
application server talks to the back end database server. Application
server will be able to scale much better than a web server. For example you
can do load balancing with a lot of application servers. There should not
be much difference in terms of developing servlet applications for Web
server and application server. A lot of applications servers support
servlets.
The major players I know and heard of are Netscape Application Server,
WebLogic and Oracle Application Server.
