Difference between Web Server and Web Container

Hi All,

I want to know whether there is any difference between web server and web container.I feel that all web severs have web container inbuilt.
Is this true?

Plz clear my doubt

A web server just serves static resources like html pages, images etc (or cgi/perl if it has those modules also). Basically a web server is something which serves http requests.

A web container executes servlets, jsps and provides dynamic content. Web(servlet) container is the core of any web server that meets the servlet specifications (set by Sun).

A web server need not include a servlet container all the time. Only those who claim to be servlet spec compliant have servlet containers.

Hope that helps.
