Well, it depends on what you mean by the term "application server". If
your application requires the ability to run servlets and JSP pages, plus
a reasonable amount of static content, Tomcat will work just fine. If you
need higher performance that Tomcat can provide, or features not included
in Tomcat (such as access to EJBs), then you should look at other
alternatives.
