.net - Is IIS a web server or an application server? -

-

is iis web server or application server?

or both?

what difference between (or similarity between) web , application servers in .net?

thanks!

update: on further investigation, concluded following: depends on protocol used 'serving'

web server: http, , app server: any, including http.

not sure if iis has other protocols deviate http, (and if doesnt,) maybe in stricter sense, is web server! (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc268242.aspx)

application servers, definition, should able serve (any) 'application'; not browsers. (web services being problematic area in context)

correct above if wrong... again.

iis 6.0 web server, extension, aspnet_isapi.dll, handles asp.net functionality. in iis 7.0 , above, .net handling has been integrated webserver itself, , iis might considered application server, hosting .net applications (asp.net).

if looking similar java bean container in .net, there no such concept. can use windows services, or can use windows azure worker roles, resemble "app servers" jboss, etc.

are there more specific questions? it's difficult elaborate more without going far off original question.
