'''Web Application Server''' (WAS or WEB AS) is a component of the [[NetWeaver]] solution which works as a web application server to [[SAP AG|SAP]] solutions. From the [[SAP AG|SAP]] point of view the (WAS or Web AS) is the foundation on which most of their product range runs.

Its basic function is to allow [[World Wide Web|web]] development based on SAP standard solutions (usually developed under the [[ABAP]] programprogramming language, but in the newer versions also in [[Java programming language]]).

With Web AS, it is possible - for example - to publish queries, programs and ABAP applications in a web environment but linked to and based in a SAP solution infrastructure. The newer versions of the (WAS or WEB AS) also support open standards like [[Java programming language]].
