[kan nat]

what is the web container and servlet container, are both same, in some places i see servlet container and someother places have web container

[Ankitt Gupta]

i guess both are same as there is only one container in which your web application lie and servlet is a part of web application

[Vijitha Kumara]

The difference would be between web server & web container where web servers used to serve static content and web containers are for dynamic content (servlet / jsp etc..). Servlet container & web container used interchangeably.

web container is a generic word
Tomcat is a standalone (servlet) web container
