Although, the Tomcat provides implementations to most of the APIs and somehow we can also connect to other products, using which we can eventually get all the services which are part of the Application Server Specification, but in this manner you cannot call tomcat as Application Server, as it doesnt provide all the features on its own.

There is no such thing as an "Application Server Specification". There is a "JEE Specification", and servers that fully implement it are generally considered to be application servers. But as pointed out above, there is no generally agreed-upon definition of "application server".

As the faq entry says, Tomcat doesn't implement the full JEE (formerly J2EE) specification but many applications that don't require the full specification run very well on Tomcat. In fact, I would dare say they run better, or, at least, more efficiently on Tomcat because services that aren't needed aren't being run.
If you're saying that Tomcat isn't a complete JEE application server, you're correct. It doesn't intend to be. But, to say that it isn't an application server would be less than correct.

If i am visiting JavaRanch, I mean only a JEE Application Server.

The reason is we use term Application Server interchangeably with JEE Application Server, in context of Java world.
Web applications are composed of web components and other data such as HTML pages. Web components execute in a web container. A web server includes
a web container and other protocol support, security support, and so on, as required by Java EE specifications.

The argumentative explanations seems much popular.It seems subtly exploiting the exciting features of Java. One tends towards abstraction for general perspective,loosely coupling with non-specific concepts and other towards Inheritance for Cohesive & specific explanation.
