A Web application runs within a Web container of a Web server. The Web
container provides the runtime environment through components that provide
naming context and life cycle management. Some Web servers may also provide
additional services such as security and concurrency control. A Web server may
work with an EJB server to provide some of those services. A Web server,
however, does not need to be located on the same machine as an EJB server.
Web applications are composed of web components and other data such as HTML pages.
Web components can be servlets, JSP pages created with the JavaServer Pages™
technology, web filters, and web event listeners. These components typically execute in a web server and may respond to HTTP requests from web clients. Servlets, JSP
pages, and filters may be used to generate HTML pages that are an
application’s user interface. They may also be used to generate XML or other format
data that is consumed by other application components.
