A web server itself is an application deployed inside an Application Server. As explained in earlier response, a Web Server is a software that serves to access internet or intranet. It provides HTTP message handling for an application server ( J2EE like Web Sphere). Application Server is a system that provides the execution enviroment for the entire system.That is the core of network computing / Architechtures.
