It seems that we went a bit off topic here or should I say more in a debate of principles. In this case I want to second the opinion of Arno with the following link to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_server It clarifies what an application server is and what it provides and sorry Jerry but the Apache Webserver as the name says is a webserver that's why they built some other projects like Tomcat and Geronimo which are Servlet Containers or in case of Geronimo real application servers.
