Hi All,

I was reading an old article
(http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2008/jw-01-tomcat6.html?page=1) about
Tomcat to find out whether Tomcat can be used as application serve or
not. This article list that Tomcat 6.x support following features:

...

Where as lack for following:

·Distributed transactions

·EJBs and

·JMS

For that reason it can't be used as full application server. Is there
any feature I missed in either side.

And main question Is Tomcat application server? If no why?

The way you're using the term, no. Tomcat is a servlet engine, with some very limited support for ejb's. Look at JBoss if you need full EJB support. Keep in mind that servlets and standard java code can do an awful lot, so you may not need full EJB support.
