I am fairly new to J2EE web development. I Have built a few large applications with Tomcat and Struts. One of my clients asked me the difference between Oracle iI AS and Tomcat. I am assuming that you can't really compare apples to oranges here but i am wondering if someone can help me field this question. Thanks in advance.

Well Tomcat is strictly a Web Server, whereas Oracle AS is an App Server which can deploy Web and EJB.

Some App Servers include Tomcat as the Web container, JBoss does this.

Tomcat is more than just a web server. You can deploy Oracle ADF Faces applications using JDeveloper and deploy them on a tomcat server. The limitation is that tomcat does not support EJB's. You have to use JBoss which adds this capability but still uses Tomcat for the jsp and servlet container.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
