Thanks. Looking at the diagrams, I can't seem to distinguish them from what I am already doing. That is to say, I have running installations represented by the DB, servlet , or 'three-tier' diagrams. I don't see how you could attach a DB to the web and then throw CGI into the mix without generating the logic of those same schemas. I have done these things: - without conceptualizing them as 'application servers' - without buying new equipment - without buying different software (I have various CGI, I have a web server(s), I have a database(s). So my question is still: What is really new and different about application servers? Why should I not just think of this as a new buzzword for the same old practices? Anyone? Thanks, Chaz
