What Is a Web Application?

A web application is an application that is accessed with a web browser over the Internet or an intranet. Web applications are deployed to a web server like Tomcat or, if you want to use Java EE features like web services and enterprise beans, to a Java EE application server like the Sun Java System Application Server.
