Difference between Web server and Application server

The server is the repository for data and programs are stored and can be accessed anytime with requests across the network. The kind of requests that needs to be processed decides the kind of server required for the business.

The two kinds of servers used today are Web Server and Application Server
Web Server and Application Server

The Web Servers are static websites which display information to viewers. But application servers differ in one aspect wherein they provide an opportunity for the users to interact with the web pages and get the required information from them.

The difference between the two servers is as below:

  Web Server Application Server
Purpose Web pages display static information Application Server pages are suitable for dynamic content means there is an opportunity for live interaction with request and get a response from the server
Server Features Applicable for web-only that is for servlet containers. It cannot be used for EJB (Enterprise Java Beans)

 

Scripting languages such as Perl, PHP, ASP,JSP can be used

Applicable for the web that is servlet containers along with EJB

 

Application-level services assistance for object pooling, transaction support, connection pooling, and messaging services is provided

Multithreading programming No support for multithreading Multithreading is supported
Makes use of HTML and HTTP GUI (graphical user interface), HTTP, RPC/RMI
Utilization of resources available Less utilization of the resources High utilization of the resources
Work Environment Web applications Enterprise applications

The web server functionality is quite simple, it just collects the request and passes it on to the server to handle it. The processed response for the request is displayed back to the user by a web server.

In case of an application server, there is opportunity to get the response in the page itself. The web page itself processes the request and gives response. There is no passing information for processing as in case of web server.
