Talk:Web container

How does the layman makes sense of this definition?

Web Container vs. Servlet Container

Isn't the correct title for this article "Servlet Container". At least Tomcat speaks of being a servlet container... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.170.161.222 (talk) 10:42, 10 May 2007 (UTC).

Tomcat is just one of many. It may have started off as a Servlet Container, -which I do not even know for sure-, but nowadays, there are more than just this one Web-technology abusing the HTTP-protocol. My personal choice would be Web-Dumpster, but feel free to variate on the motive.--84.56.67.43 (talk) 12:42, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

List of Servlet containers

The List of Servlet containers is a long list, all under either commercial or non-commercial "web container" headings. I recognized some like Jetty (web server) that I have seen referred to as web containers elsewhere. So should Web container include all of these? --JWB (talk) 00:57, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

This page makes the distinction between commercial and non-commercial servlet containers. Would a better distinction be whether the container is open source or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.167.223.65 (talk) 07:39, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Also, that particular distinction is not strictly enforced. Or is JBoss somehow both commercial and non-commercial?! -- Jokes Free4Me (talk) 10:09, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
