Thank you Jeanne, that was very kind of you to respond.

What I know is that the J2EE 1.4 spec instructs that a web container (that handles servlets and jsp) and EJB container (that implements business component) together make an Application Server. Then what is HTTP server? Apache has an HTTP server project. Is that too an application server? Does an ordinary web servers have containers?

the questions still rings high in my head

a web server
an application server
a web application server
HTTP server

Thank you,
