Answer / swati - swty79@rediffmail.com
In web Application,we will use any one of the webse5r and
we will deploy all the web components into that server.
Even client components also will be in server only. Once
the user send the request through browser then only the
appropriate component will download to user machine and it
will execute in browser. eg : yahoo mail
but in clientserver application, the client application
will be in client machine and one machine in remote place
acts as a server. in that server pc one server application
will run, whenever client requests then it will receive
that and send the response to client. eg : yahoo messenger.

few more points on client server application and web
application.
Client- server applications: Application is loaded at the
server. In every client machine, an exe is loaded to call
this application.
Web Based application : Application is loaded at the
server.but,No exe is installed at the client machine. We
have to call the application through browser. usually we
use http protocols to communicate.

Answer / sm
Following are the few differences in between Client server
and web application:
1)For launching the client server there is no need for web
server and data base server where as if we want to launch
the web application first we must start the web server along
with data base server.
2)In order to open client server application we must first
installed in a specific system then only we can able to
open,there is no need to install the web application simply
we can start it by giving a unique and specific url'
3)Client server application is menu driven application where
as web server is lick driven application
4)Client server consists of less content where as web server
application consists os more content when compared to client
server application

Hi Friends,
I am also hunting for job like you guys. Thanks for the
requests for clarification of web application as 2-tier.
for eg : lets us take an example of user logging into
portal.
the webpage(where you are providing username and password)
is a front end page and its clear we treat it as one tier.
Once you enter username and password, these must be
validated. There are two options, you can validate in the
same jsp page or you can use another servlet to validate
these user credentials and delegate the request to
appropriate page on success.
Here the point is if you are validating the username and
password in the same jsp which means the frontend page(lets
think as a jsp) is directly interacting with
database...then we can treat it as a two tier. Incase if
this jsp is again talking to other servlet saying..."hey
servlet...please validate this user id and password and
decide yourselves what ever you want to do if success or
failuer? " then simply this servlet will validate and
forward to database if success otherwise it will forward
to error.jsp saying invalid username and password..so this
can be treated as three tier.
Most of the time two tier is not recommended
because..According to Jsp specification..jsp are good to
use as presentation purpose but not for controlling and
performing bussiness logic..This is what all I know

Answer / abilash
Web Application: All the web components as well as the
client components will be deployed on the server. Once user
send an request through the browser, then the appropriate
component will be downloaded and executed. Also executable
files (.exe) wont be installed on the client machine.
Client Server : Application file will be loaded at the
Server whereas Executable files will be installed on each
client machine to call the application from the Server.

Answer / pawan
1.Client/Server:Client contain views and some programming logic, Server needs to send response data only, not view(form,screen)
2.Web application:In web application our browser act as client and does not have programming logic it just react to user interactions. Server contain all programming logic and views. Server send response data along with view, which is rendered by our browser.
3.Think of gmail:
When you open link it acts as Web application. Once all required javascript load it just send response data not views, so can think of client server.
4.In client server: don't talk about .exe cause it not always case in programming language like Java and platform like Linux. (.exe) file are specific to windows platform.
5.Client server programs are more faster than web application cause server don't need to prepare views, that exist in client. Server needs to send only response data (Yo u can check it against gmail, once loaded it acts much faster cause required views already at client side)
