difference between applicationserver and webserver..

Answer / ramesh sukka

Application server and web server both are designed to
hadle web request only but application server will support
J2EE middlwware services like JMS,EJB,JTS,J2ee legecy
connection where as web server will not support this. See
the j2ee architecture for middleware components.

Remember every application server will have it own web
server embedded internally. For example for Jboss , it use
Apache web server. For Oracle AS uses HTTP web server.
