Hi Anas,
As per my understanding it goes like this:
Web Server : It accepts HTTP request from client(usually a web browser) and
forwards it to web container. Gets the response from Web Container and forwards
it back to client.
Web Container: It accepts request to from server and as per the request type
call the service method(doGet, doPost etc) on the respective
resource(servlet/JSP) based on uri and sends back the response to web server.
It is also responsible for: Communication support(socket creation), Servlet
life cycle management (Init(), Service() and Destroy()), Multithreading support,
Declarative security(thru deployment descriptor) and JSP support .
is the web container part of web server ?
I know about Apache Tomcat. Earlier 'Apache' used to come as a separate web
server.
but now both come together as Apache Tomcat where Tomcat is an implementation
of
the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies.
is servlet web container or web component ?
None. Servlet is niether. It is just a Java class capable of processing http
based
request/response.
Thanks,
-Pravin
