Re: WebSphere

[Tom Heiber-Cobb <heibercobb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe it's more accurate to state that WebSphere is an add-on to a web
server. It provides an environment from which to execute server-side java.
One of the components of WebSphere is refered to as an application server.
At its most fundamental the application server portion delivers this
server-side java (servlets) to web based clients (IE, Netscape). In the
absense of a traditional HTTP server (web server) I don't believe WebSphere
can stand alone to provide its services.
        Anyone else want to weigh in on this? Any exceptions to my description?
Thanks,
        Tom H-C
