Why does it bug you that big companies use servlets
and JSP? Why do you have doubts about Java?

Hi!

Usually the good separation (called Model 2) between business logic, data 
and presentation is the best reason you can give them. Plus you can switch 
the vendor of your middleware(database, application server, ....).

A lot of these thing you can find in JSP, Servlets specs.

Best regards,

Quite right. As I'm involved in both development, deployment and maintenance,
portability and security are key issues. Apache does support ASP, I think, but I
don't quite trust that if I can help it. What about Perl? I still like to use it
for small, quick jobs.

There are a couple of reasons to pick JSP. I usually tell bosses that
we use java because it is easy to replicate across multiple hardware as
the demand for the app grows (They love thinking about growing demand).


Security is an issue too, especially with M$ products (not sure about
PHP). How many viruses have we seen in the past few years effecting
IIS, Exchange and NT?

There are some good whitepapers comparing JSP to other technologies on
the JavaSoft site. here's one:

Please share your conclusions.

To throw in my two cents regarding servlets over other
technologies:

ASP: It's from Microsoft, and a lot of people don't
trust Microsoft. Plus their solutions are easy to
initially implement but difficult to maintain and
extend. Plus it's ONLY from Microsoft. So if you like
ASP but don't like how MS treats you or how much they
charge, you have nowhere to go.

PHP: I haven't done much with PHP, but I think a
couple of disadvantages compared to servlets/JSP are:
1.I don't think PHP can handle threads. 2. Unlike
Java, PHP really can't be used in non-web apps.

ColdFusion: Don't know much about it. But again I
believe there is only one vendor.

nono
dun get me wrong
im currently doing a J2EE project based on
servlets/jsp/javamail/jdbc/possibly EJB(low possibility)
there are 2 things i need to do.

1)i need to noe if i ve been missing out on some of the capabilities, which
i did not implement
2) i need to write in my report the major advantages my web application has
over the others. I noe jsp/servlets are the best around but i cant quite
explain.

However, some kind souls have emailed me and explained to me and help clear
some of my doubts.
