Application Servers compared to Middlewares
-
Hi everybuddy, I wana ask in your opinion how a 'Middleware' relates to or differs from an 'Application Server' such as ASP.NET? Can we say one of these concepts contains the other? or they are different tools that help achieveing a similar goal? Thank you, - Den2Fly --- "Art happens when you least expect it."

My understanding is that the term "Middleware" is some technology that sits between a front-end GUI and a back-end Database. Most notibly, this term used to be applied to MM Flash applications, where the swf would be the GUI, and a database used (eg/ MySQL or MSSQL) - as flash has no native ability to connect to a DB, "middleware" (eg/ asp, php, perl) was used to translate HTTP requests from flash to database calls & vice-versa. ASP.NET can be used as this middleware, although these days flash has much more ability, such as Remoting which negates the use for such "middleware" solutions.
