Hi rahul,

WAS stands for Web Application server. All the JAVA applications and all otehr applications run on this Application server only. You deploy you application on this server.

There are basically 2 stacks of WAS. One is JAVA stack which takes care of all the JAVA applications at run time and another onde is ABAP stack which takes care for all ABAP applications.

For more references you can follow this link:

Hello Rahul

SAP Web Application Server

(Currently SAP WebAS Release 6.40) is the basis of all SAP Applications and constitutes the application platform capabilitty.

The Core of SAP Web AS is the "old" SAP Basis,which offers the recognized advantages of the ABAP development and rumtime environment.Which include reliability,scalability, and operating system and database dependence,

SAP Web As supplements these fundamental aspects with technologies such as the SAP J2ee Engine And the Internet Communication Manager(ICM) ,Which handles internet requests and distributes them to the individual components,

Furchermore ,SAP Web AS supports a wide range of technical standards such as HTTP(s),SMTP ,WebDAV,SOAP,SSL,SSO,X.509,Unicode,HTML,XML and WML .
