Web Server in WAS Installation

The Web Servers are necessary in the WAS installation for directing traffic from browsers to the applications that run in WAS. The Web Servers use Web Server plug-ins that depend on plugin configuration file to determine whether a request is for dynamic content of static content, if the request is for static content web server will server it but if it is for dynamic content it will use the plugin configuration file to figure out how to route that request to web application.
