The primary difference between a web application server and an HTTP server is that web application servers support Java, in the form of servlets and JavaServer Pages. The higher end web application servers also provide support for Enterprise Java Beans. If you're just doing CGI, you can use an HTTP server. For most servlet/JSP work, a standard web application server is fine. In most cases, these are no-price or inexpensive solutions. It's not until you venture into the land of EJB that the vendors jack the prices up.
