Application servers are used to run any applications, and web servers are used to run web applications.
here is the diff.........

WEBLOGIC:
is a application server.
Supports many protocols.
Used for enterprise applications and EJBs.
Supports N-Tier architectures.
Provides more scalability.

TOMCAT:
is a web server
supports only HTTP / HTTPS protocols
Used for Dynamic / static pages only (E.g servlets, JSPs, HTML etc.)
Supports 3-Tier architecture
Provides nominal scalability
Web server for running the servlets:Mainly to run the servlets we will use Apache Tomcat sever,Sunone Studio.(websevers).But servlets also run in the Application server such as Weblogic,websphere,Jboss.

we can't run Ejb applications in web server.But we can run web applications in application servers.
