An application server is a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that is running user applications. The application server collaborates with the Web server to return a dynamic, customized response to a client request. Application code, including servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, enterprise beans and their supporting classes, runs in an application server. Conforming to the Java 2 platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) component architecture, servlets and JSP files run in a Web container, and enterprise beans run in an Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) container.[2]
A Servlet container is a specialized web server that supports Servlet execution. It combines the basic functionality of a web server with certain Java/Servlet specific optimizations and extensions – such as an integrated Java runtime environment, and the ability to automatically translate specific URLs into Servlet requests. Individual Servlets are registered with a Servlet container, providing the container with information about what functionality they provide, and what URL or other locater they will use to identify themselves. The Servlet container is then able to initialize the Servlet as necessary and deliver requests to the Servlet as they arrive.
Servlet containers are also referred to as web containers or web engines.
