Hi suniraj,

Application server executes commands requested by a Web server to fetch data from databases.

[LIST=1][*]Web server supports only HTTP protocol while aplication server supports [*]many other including HTTP. [*]An application server also supports buisness logic while web server does not. An application server can include webserver in itself while a web server does not include application server.[/LIST]
