Answer Posted / madhu

(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.
