In this case I want to second the opinion of Arno with the following link to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_server It clarifies what an application server is and what it provides and sorry Jerry but the Apache Webserver as the name says is a webserver that's why they built some other projects like Tomcat and Geronimo which are Servlet Containers or in case of Geronimo real application servers.

No, Tomcat and Geronimo are servers for specific applications.

You don't understand all of the capabilities of Apache if you don't 
understand it can also serve applications.

Sure, it's *main* purpose is as a webserver.  But it can do so much 
more, with the appropriate modules.
