Difference between App server & Web server

What is the exact difference between the App Server & Web Server?

What is the exact difference between the App Server &
Web Server?that is sort of like asking what is the difference between colour and
blue, but i will try to explain all the same.
i would define a web server as a server that provides HTTP service.
that is it provides access to resources using the www protocol standards.
i would define an application server as any server providing a service
through the use of some application specific protocol.
by this definition a web server is also an application server, but not
all application servers are web servers.
some Java examples of application servers that are not web servers would
be EJB, or how about practically anything using RMI.
to further confuse the issue some web servers are now acting as more
widely functional application services in an idea called web services.
the idea is to provide non-web based applications through HTTP using
existing web servers.
for more on Java web services go here http://java.sun.com/webservices/
finally to illustrate the difference in a java-based way.
public abstract class ApplicationServer{
}and...
public class WebServer extends ApplicationServer{

    Can it be that you are a little bit arrogant ?
    Why you don't simply use that little text field on the left side of this page or use a search engine ?
    One example:

  • RE:difference between application server and web application server

    hi,
         i am a fresher to SAP.please tell me the difference between application server and web application server so that my doubt will be clarified.

    Hi,
    the SAP Web Application Server is the reliable, open standard-based application server from SAP. It supports both J2EE and ABAP, and serves as the underlying infrastructure for all new and upcoming SAP solutions, like SAP R/3 Enterprise, SAP Portal, SAP Exchange Infrastructure, and all other SAP components.
    The SAP Web Application Server is not a new product, it is the natural evolution of proven SAP application server technology formerly known as SAP Basis. It provides the platform to develop, execute, and operate Web applications and Web services as well as traditional SAP GUI based applications
    if it helpful rewards points are appreciated

  • Difference between CR Server XI and Business Objects  Enterprise

    Can anybody just tell me in brief what is the Difference between CR Server XI and Business Objects  Enterprise?

    Here's the brief summary:
    CR Server is essentially Business Objects Enterprise with the following limitations:
    - Limited to a single server (no clustering)
    - Limited to a maximum of 4 CPUs
    - Limited to the Crystal Reports content type
    - Limited to a maximum of 20 Concurrent Users (or CAL - Concurrent Access License)
    - One CAL can service between 5 and 10 'real people' depending on your usage patterns.
    - No Web Intelligence
    - No Crystal Xcelsius
    - No Dashboarding
    - No Enterprise Performance Management
    - No Data Integrator
    It is ideal for a departmental or a small company reporting server.  It includes
    - CAL licensing (BusinessObjects Enterprise doesn't)
    - One copy of CR Developer Edition for every 5 CAL purchased (Report designers are extra with BusinessObjects Enterprise)
    - Live Office for office integration
    - Sharepoint 2003 Portal Integration Kit
    - Web based report administration and consumption
    - Business Views Manager for semantic layer maintenance
    I hope this helps - let me know if you have more questions.

  • The difference between VTP server and transparent mode on Catalyst Switch.

    Hello 
    I have a question about the difference between VTP server mode and VTP transparent mode on general catalyst switch.
    Basically VTP server mode can create and modify VLAN configuration but  actually there is not any VLAN configuration through running-config, is it true?  When I checked it on Cat3550, certainly there is not VLAN configuration on VTP server mode. But VTP transparent can create VLAN and configuration but does not synchronize with other switch VLAN status. I appreciate any related information and reason of the VTP server mode specification, thank you very much.
    [VTP Transparent mode]
    3550#sh vtp status
    VTP Version                     : 2
    Configuration Revision          : 0
    Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005
    Number of existing VLANs        : 27
    VTP Operating Mode              : Transparent
    VTP Domain Name                 :
    VTP Pruning Mode                : Disabled
    VTP V2 Mode                     : Disabled

    Hi mhiyoshi,
    3550#sh vtp status
    VTP Version                     : 2
    Configuration Revision          : 0
    Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005
    Number of existing VLANs        : 27
    VTP Operating Mode              : Transparent

    VTP V2 Mode                     : Disabled
    VTP Traps Generation            : Disabled
    *omit
    3550#
    3550#sh run
    Building configuration...
    *omit
    vlan 99
     name TEST-VLAN
    The above out put indicates that Vlan is created and then mode changed to transparent. i.e why revision no is 0.
    3550#sh vtp status
    VTP Version                     : 2
    Configuration Revision          : 0
    Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005
    Number of existing VLANs        : 27
    VTP Operating Mode              : Server
    VTP Domain Name                 :
    VTP Pruning Mode                : Disabled
    VTP V2 Mode                     : Disabled
    VTP Traps Generation            : Disabled
    *omit
    3550#
    3550#sh run
    Building configuration...
    *no VLAN like above configuration on VTP transparent mode.
    This indicates that vlan never created in server mode nor learnt from another switch as revision no is 0

  • What is the difference between Component,Server,Tool and Software?

    HI,
    What is the difference between Component,Server,Tool and Software?
    SHABEER

    Hi
    Every individual part that constitutes in making an SAP System is called a COMPONENT.e.g DB instance, Java CI, ABAP CI etc
    SERVER is the actual composition of different components of SAP.e.g. a database alongwith can instance would constitue an application server.
    TOOLS are the products from different organisations (SAP or Non SAP) that can be used for different functionalities like keeping a check on jobs, monitoring of the system , e.g Tivoli
    SOFTWARES are a kind of tool that help you to bring up results from the system in a user acceptable format. These are utilities that act as interfaces between the user and the system.

  • Difference between SQL SERVER 2008 & SQL SERVER 2012 & SQL SERVER 2014

    Difference between SQL SERVER 2008 & SQL SERVER 2012 & SQL SERVER 2014 ?

    What sort of databases do you have OLTP? Data warehouse? What requirements do you have for High Availability?
    The main features for SQL 2012/2014, as I see it:
    o  Support for window functions, which makes it possible to write fast queries for running totals, sliding windows etc.
    o  Columnstore indexes, which can speed up your data warehouse enormously. But of no interest for OLTP. Only writable in SQL 2014.
    o  AlwaysOn and Availability Groups, a vastly improve story for high availability and disaster recovery.
    o  try_convert/try_cast, you can now easily filter out values from a column which does not convert to a number. A small but essential feature.
    o  In memory-OLTP, a new in-memory engine in SQL 2014. This far with very limited feature set, and quite specialised.
    Of the points above, the second and third require Enterprise Edition, the first and fourth are in all editions. For the last, I don't think Microsoft has announced anything yet.
    There are also new stuff in the BI area, but that's out of my league.
    And, oh, there is a new licensing model - which I think is holding more than one customer back.

    Hi all,
     I am using SQL Server from last 3 years. I started SQL Server 2008 R2. Now I am using SQL Server 2012. I want to change my development environment to SQL Server 2012 R2. But suddenly I saw that SQL Server 2014 is released. I want to know what are the
    differences between SQL Server 2012 R2 & SQL Server 2014. Are both those are the same or different products?
    I searched through the Internet but I didn't find any article regarding that. So could someone help me to solve this matter?
    Thanks,

  • Difference between application server and central instance

    Hi everyone,
    whats the difference between application server and central instance and message server. where it will be installed. and how?
    Regards
    Basis Fresher

    Hi,
    just want to clarify that is is not correct that only one enqueue process can be configured on the CI.
    Please see the documentation within transaction RZ11 for the parameter Parameter : rdisp/wp_no_enq
    Short description : number of enqueue work processes
    Parameter description :
    You can use this parameter to define the number of enqueue work processes for the instance.
    Ensure that a value >0 is only set on the central instance that provides the enqueue server (instance rdisp/enqname ). One enqueue work process on the central instance is normally sufficient (rdisp/wp_no_enq = 1); only in very large systems can a higher value be useful.
    Kind Regards

  • Difference between Terminal server connection and MSTSC remote desktop connection

    Hi everyone , Wats the main difference between Terminal server connection and MSTSC remote desktop connection? Well both are used to connect a server remotely. right!
    Are there any much difference between them?

    RDP is a protocol and MSTSC is the RDP client.
    In the situation you are referring to, you use MSTSC (RDP Client) in both cases, but when you connect to a client PC (Windows 7, Windows XP, etc) you can only connect if nobody is using that PC at the moment, if you connect to a server you can work along with
    some other users. Server OS supports 2 connections by default, if you want more people you need Remote Desktop Services and RDS licenses.
