Such an application must also expose an API for 3rd parties. It should also integrate with other applications via web services or a message broker. Normally the application handles requests (HTTP requests and messages) by executing business logic, accessing a database, exchanging messages with other systems and returning an HTML/JSON/XML response. Logical components are corresponding to different functional areas of the application.
