what is the difference between application server & web
server?

Answer Posted / sonali choudhari

1)The application server can handle larger processing
chores than web server.
2) Web server can focus on serving web pages so it could
optimise the process.
Application server can then concentrate on serving the
application ,so it can provide many primary services that
applcation need such as transational support,security and
persistence to database.
3)Web Server serves static HTML pages or gifs, jpegs,
etc., and can also run code written in CGI, JSP etc. A Web
server handles the HTTP protocol. Eg of some web server are
IIS or apache.

An Application Server is used to run business logic or
dynamically generated presentation code. It can either
be .NET based or J2EE based (BEA WebLogic Server, IBM
WebSphere, JBoss).
