Web Server Vs Application Server

Posted by Krishan on August 13, 2001 at 5:03 AM

Application Server is responsible for handling the business logic
of the system.In three tier Architecture , the flow is as follows

[Browser(client)(Presentation)] ---> [Web server(caters to the http request)+Application Server(Business logic)] ---->[database server]

Now if heavy transactions are involved then we can biffurcate the second Tier which is nothing else then 4 Tier Architecture

Flow is as follows

[Browser(client)(Presentation)] ---> [Web server(caters to the http requests)]--->[Application Server(Business logic)] ---->[database server]
