ApplicationContext 

WebApplicationContext 

ApplicationContext is used to create standalone applications.	WebApplicationContext is used to create web applications.
ApplicationContext is the parent of the WebApplicationContext interface.	WebApplicationContext is the child of the ApplicationContext interface.
In the case of ApplicationContext, we have to create and destroy the container objects manually.	But in the case of WebApplicationContext, we don’t need to create and destroy the container object. The container object will be created automatically.
There is always a single ApplicationContext in an application.	There can be multiple WebApplicationContexts for each of the dispatcher servlets.
ApplicationContext represents the Spring IoC Containers and it is the sub-interface of BeanFactory. 	WebApplicationContext in Spring is a web-aware ApplicationContext i.e it has Servlet Context information.
ApplicationContext is used to inject all the middle-tier beans (Services, DAOs) which are instantiated using the “ContextLoaderListener” class configured in web.xml.	WebApplicationContext is used to deal with the web-related components such as controllers and view resolvers, which is configured using “DispatcherServlet”.
