WebSphere application server is a middleware component that basically acts as a middle man between the application code and its backend. Code written in java needs to make use if the run time infrastructure at the back end which provides the information a java code requires. Now the component which enables this necessity of information sharing is called Middleware.
So Middleware basically acts as a ‘middle person’ between the front end and the back end. In technical terms, you can say this as part of business processing, data integration..Etc. But to keep things simple, middleware acts as a manager of the information that are being transmitted from a code to its back end. It determines how effectively a programming code can act upon the data being fetched from the database and it provides the best environment for this data to get processed.
In short we can see the code, we can see the website, but the journey from a code to its corresponding website is determined by how effective your middleware product is.
