An application server is able to run EJBs. For example WebSphere or JBoss.
A web container is only able to run servlets (not EJBs). For example, Tomcat or the web container embedded in WebSphere.
A web server is only able to serve static content like images - no Java apps at all. Apache Http Server is an example
