While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

Web Server is used to handle incoming requests (popular ones are IIS, Apache, Nginx etc)

Web Container (also referred to as Servlet container) provides a runtime for web applications (popular ones are Tomcat, Undertow, Jetty) - to add more context, it's what is used to create a response to a request, in the context of servlets and JSPs
