The term "Application Server" predates JEE and EJB. I would call Tomcat an App server since it "processes server-side business logic" (i.e. you don't need EJBs to process business logic and it's sometimes a bad idea anyway.)

(Or trolling.) Tomcat is not a full JEE server, as stated above. The definition of 'Application Server' is not 'Full JEE Server' unless you drink Oracle juice for breakfast. I have and do run applications on Tomcat, which is a server.
