Re: what is the difference between application server, web server and portal server?
Hi ,
Websphere actually process static content like you request to access a webpage like Google , it will go to webserver as teh result is excpected and the page will be displayed .now application server comes into picture when you put something in seach box , like something you wanna search ,no there you require application server as webserver cannot take the dynamic request , like it cannot search the database and do lot of processing and yes application server is a software.
Hope it make sense

if the exaple is not clear
here is the example
www.chase.com---> Static html pages which are stored on webserver example Apache/Iplanet so on
once you make any request after login getting your balance any details will be served by app servers like weblogic/websphere
static page is same for all usrer and will change once you login with ur credentials
Simple saying place where entire Business logic exists in application server in pulling required information from DB
Request---> Webserver ---> Application Server ---> DB
<-- <-- <--- responce
Let me know any more Q's more then happy to share info and learn.
