Hi everyone.
I've a quick question as to why many
technical architect diagrams make a distinction between web servers and application servers (somtimes seperated by a firewall).

This is totally confusing me! How does this apply to Oracle technology -- After all Oracle Application Server has a web listener (i.e web server) inherent within it. So, is it normal to have seperate web servers and application servers (seperated by firewalls) when using Oracle technology.

Thanks
