You must think of it in J2EE architecture:
A Web Server provides services to a Web Container, for exampler a Web
Container typically relies on
a Web Server to provide HTTP message handling.
Application Server is a Server in a distributed network that provides the
business logic for application program, for example EJB Container relies on
Application Server that contains all
enterprise bean.
And both Web Container and EJB Container are in middle tier/Business layer
and interacts with
each other.

Good Luck,
