Hi
web server is used to serve web based applications.(i.e servlets and jsps)
application server is used to serve web based applications and enterprise based applications(i.e sevlets, jsps and ejbs...). because application server contains web server internally.

Re: what is the difference between application server, web server and portal server?

hi vandahana

A Web server handles the HTTP protocol. When the Web server receives an HTTP request,
it responds with an HTTP response, such as sending back an HTML page. To process a request, a Web server may respond with a static HTML page or image, send a redirect, or delegate the dynamic response generation

Application server

An application server exposes business logic to client applications through various protocols, possibly including HTTP. While a Web server mainly deals with sending HTML for display in a Web browser, an application server provides access to business logic for use by client application programs. The application program can use this logic just as it would call a method on an object

Thanks
