Application server can have web container as well as ejb container but web server can have only the web container. Example of Application Server : JBOSS<br>Web Server : TOMCAT

Application server can be used to work all enterprise applications but web server can be used to work only web based applications and with only http protocol.<br>Application server ex:-weblogic,websphere,pramati server<br>Web server ex:- Tomcat

Initially when the web started,then all it needed was a server which would received the requests for http pages and send them beck to browsers these are called web server.<br>Then came requests for handling high capacity DB transaction, supporting latest java feature like servlet, jsp, ejb etc. these request handled by application server.
