Hi, I thought I new lots about java programming but I dontthink I do
now. I have just been on a cramming course and we were using Tomcat
for our servlets. Someone said they had used that "application server"
before and the tutor said no, "it wasn't an application server, it was
a servlet container". So what is the differerence and when would you
use the later over the former.

Thank you
Gary Hindrew
