Hi Niloofar, Product and Profile servers refer (at the component level) to the profile [1] and product [2] packages inside of the OODT top level directory. Web-grid comes with its own web-grid (REST-ful) product and profile server "classes" baked in, but they aren't the profile and product server "components".
Hope that helps!
