This is shown in Figure 2. An app server is actually a conglomeration of several distributed and client/server software systems. So when you write an app server, you are actually writing many different software systems which are all networked to work together, to process information that comes from various sources, and distribute this information to a set of client apps (that you also have to write) running on different devices and platforms.
P.wide {margin-left: 10px; width: auto; margin-right: -50px; border: 1px solid gray;}Figure 8-19. Wider children through negative margins

All you need in such a case is the following:
