Re: Difference between Web and Application Server!
Hello
Application Server is the middle tier component between the client and the 'real' server . Application server stores all the business logic .
Use the web server when you want to have a server on the world wide web and use an application server in any multi tier architecture to store the business logic so that u get a thinner client, better maintenance, OO design etc. etc. etc
