This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
Dear guys, i'm abit confused regarding teh differnce between http server and web server http server like apache and web server like tomcat what is teh differnec which one host the application the http server or teh web server
On your way in you may have missed that we have a policy on screen names here at JavaRanch. Basically, it must consist of a first name, a space, and a last name, and not be obviously fictitious. Since yours does not conform with it, please take a moment to change it, which you can do right here.
As to your question, there is no difference between a web server and an HTTP server - they're the same thing. Tomcat is -in addition to being a web server- also a servlet container, capable of running Java web applications.
