 An application server is a software framework dedicated to the efficient

execution of
procedures (scripts, routines, programs ...) for supporting the construction of
applications.
The term was created in the context of web applications. In these, the application
server
acts as a set of components accessible to the software developer through an API
defined by
the platform itself. These components are usually performed in the same machine
where
the web server is running, and their main job is to support the construction of
dynamic
pages.
 Other uses of the term can refer to:
o the services that a server makes available
o the computer hardware on which the services run
 Java application servers
 Following the success of the Java platform, the term application server sometimes
refers to
a J2EE or Java EE 5 application server. Some of the better-known Java Enterprise
Edition
application servers include:
o Apache Tomcat (Apache Software Foundation)
o Tcat Server (MuleSoft)
o WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition (IBM)
o Sybase Enterprise Application Server (Sybase Inc)
o WebLogic Server (Oracle)
o JBoss (Red Hat)
o Apache Geronimo (Apache Software Foundation)
o Oracle OC4J (Oracle)
o SAP Netweaver AS (ABAP/Java) (SAP)
