    Web Server is an implementation of "http" protocol which handles http request and responds. It serves for client and load pages on browser's memory
    some of the web servers are
    1) Appache tomcat
    2) Java web server
    3) Jboss
    4) Tomcat
    In web server 1) 3) 4) only http protocols are implemented.

    Web Container
    There are two web container JSP and Servlet container, both are internet applications in server side, which comes in three tier architecture these are in second tier 1st and 3rd are client and database server.
    JSP and Servlet container are application server
    JSP runs on JSP container and servlet runs on servlet container

    From this you can get how it what using as web application
