Hi, i currently have IBM Websphere 5.1 . I'm confused with the Web Sphere Application Server and HTTP server. I thought websphere is a web server but why does it has those other 2 mentioned inside ? I"m doing my research on setting up SSL with websphere but have no clue where to begin, anyone familiar with this ? thanks in advance. =)

WS Application Server is a J2EE-based server engine for processing Servlets, JSP pages and EJBs. IBM HTTP server is exactly that (a web server), and usually works in conjunction with WSAS to serve up JSP pages and web services.
