So what is Tomcat (that is, what is the Web Container)?
Couldn't also the Web Container be viewed as a Application Server?
Isn't Application Server a somewhat "stupid" term (saying pretty much
nothing, that is)? A Webserver with CGI capabilities could also be the
Application Server, right? Or is a Application Server a "bloatware" thing,
where you have WYSIWYG design stuff and the lot?
