Hi cheeky
do develop an application using servlets and jsp, i can just make use of webserver that supports servlet and jsp engine. i also bascially wanted to know how do decide whether an appserver is really required for an application.
also...kind of some guidlines on when to use appserver.

best regards

There are NO webservers that support JSP and Servlets, you have to get a webserver separate like Apache/IIS/Sambar etc. and send all jsp/servlet requests to a servlet engine like Tomcat/Resin/Orion/JRUN etc.  Now alot of servlet engine companies know that their engine cannot run without a webserver so they bundle it with its own webserver like JRUN comes with a webserver (but you still have a WEBSERVER and APPSERVER), Websphere also comes with own modified version of apache web server.

But most App servers are configured to run with a webserver.  You can configure Resin/Orion/Tomcat etc to run with IIS or Apache or most web servers.

HTH,
