While reading the article, consider Tomcat --> Application Server and Apache --> Web server for better understanding.

Hi fargo,
According to your link I think Tomcat can't be considered an app server, it's just an extension to the web server.

Hi Welkin, could you please tell me why do u consider tomcat as an extension to the webserver?

yeah. quite correct with the comment of tomcat NOT as application server (full flash). Tomcat basically is just a servlet container and on its own can't handle full flash J2EE apps with EJB and all.

This is what we were discussing over...Tomcat --> Application Server is NOT correct. Basically a Servlet Container, but CANNOT be considered as full flash App server.

You can use Resin with it, if you want.
