alkalmazáskiszolgáló

An alkalmazáskiszolgáló, or application server, is a software framework that provides the business logic for an information system. It is a type of middleware that connects a user's request to the back-end resources that can fulfill it. Application servers are essential components of many enterprise applications, providing a platform for developing, deploying, and managing complex software solutions. They handle tasks such as processing user requests, interacting with databases, and executing business logic, thereby abstracting these complexities from the client application.

Common functionalities of application servers include transaction management, security services, database connectivity, messaging, and concurrency control. They often support various programming languages and protocols, allowing for flexibility in application development. By centralizing business logic, application servers promote reusability, maintainability, and scalability of applications. They play a crucial role in web applications, where they serve dynamic content generated in response to user interactions. Examples of popular application servers include Apache Tomcat, JBoss (WildFly), Oracle WebLogic Server, and IBM WebSphere Application Server. The use of an application server simplifies the development process by providing a robust and standardized environment for building and running enterprise-level applications.
