web server is only for http based web application
web server cannot handle huge load (handles request response
up to 10,000 request/responses)
application server is for(all types of protocols(such as
http,ftp,smtp,...)
handles huge request/responses
used for dynamic web applications

Answer / vijay
A Web Server understands and supports only HTTP protocol
whereas an Application Server supports HTTP,TCP/IP and many
more protocols. Also many more features such as
Caches,Clusters,Load Balancing are there in Application
Servers which are not available in Web Servers. We can also
Configure Application Servers to work as Web Server. In
short, Applicaion Server is a super set of which Web Server
is a sub set

Web server:
A Web server handles the HTTP protocol. When the
Web server receives an HTTP request it responds with an HTTP
response such as sending back an HTML page. To process a
request a Web server may respond with a static HTML page or
image send a redirect or delegate the dynamic response
generation to some other program such as CGI scripts JSPs
(Java Server Pages) Servlets ASPs (Active Server Pages)
server-side Java Scripts or some other Server-side
technology. Whatever their purpose such server-side programs
generate a response most often in HTML for viewing in a Web
browser.
Application Server:
As for the application server according to our
definition an application Server exposes business logic to
client applications through various protocols possibly
including HTTP. While a Web server mainly deals with sending
HTML for display in a Web browser an application server
provides access to business logic for use by client
application programs. The application program can use this
logic just as it would call a method on an object
(Or)
Application Server will take care of all these issues
like Security Transaction Multithreading Resource pooling etc...
In web server it is not possible...
Simply speaking >AppServer WebServer+EJB container.
(Or)
(1) Webserver serves pages for viewing in web browser,
application server provides exposes businness logic for
client applications through various protocols (2)
Webserver exclusively handles http requests.application
server serves bussiness logic to application programs
through any number of protocols.
(3) Webserver delegation model is fairly simple, when the
request comes into the webserver, it simply passes the
request to the program best able to handle it (Server side
program). It may not support transactions and database
connection pooling.
(4) Application server is more capable of dynamic behaviour
than webserver. We can also configure application server to
work as a webserver.Simply applic! ation server is a
superset of webserver.

Answer / kapil
An Application Server May Contains More Than one Web
servers.
A Web Server doesnt provide reliability against Huge
load,and other protocols accept http protocol.
An Application Server can work as a web server because it
can operate apllications dynamically through different
protocols like http/ftp/tcp/ip.....etc.
It Can handles load upto a huge level.

Answer / dr pepper
Application server is a server that provides XML web
Services, WEb Applications and Distributed apps. You
configure a member server with this role, and IIS COM+
and .Net Framework installs Automatically. You have the
option of adding Frontpage server ext. as well and enabling
or disabling ASP.NET.
Webserver is designed for We site deployments and web based
apps. It does NOT have the ability to use ADS, and it can't
be made a DC. Application Server is a role so it can use
ADS and can be made into a DC.
