Hi all,

Can anyone please let me know the exact difference between 齱eb application? 齝lient server application? 齱eb enabled application?and 齱eb portal?
BTW the blind man is the oldest man in my project. ;)
Cheers.

well, a web application is an application running on an http server, a client server is a server on which runs some application that uses some services from some other places, web enabled applications are those that can access the www/internet, web portals are gate ways that provide an entry to go to some other places, typically, there are things called portlets, they are a type of small servlets.
hope this helps.
humm well technically its fine. But can you please let me know the features and services supported by these types of application? I want to differenciate it on this ground.Regards.

a web application provides services, it can also be a client to ejb, jms, and etc. it can also be a portal, especially if you run portlets.

i would think they are more service orieanted, rather than technology orienated, depending on what the application do and how it does it.
except that if you run portlets only on your web application, it can be considered as a portal application.
well, if you insist, i will try:
a web application in its original sense would be plain static html application, but normally it can jsp, servlets, and in the back end, there is usually a database. a web application can be a client using the same jsp/servlets to provide ejb services, etc. a portal application uses portlets.
