Cold Fusion vs WebSphere

[Martin Wiliamson]

I have seen references to Cold Fusion and WebSphere out here. I am developing
an application for Internet/Intranet that accesses data on OS/390 mainframe,
high volume and demands extremely quick response time. We currently have
Internet development in Cold Fusion but recommendations are on the table
to develope using WebSphere. Anyone want to venture an opinion on which could
provide a better solution?
Old COBOL mainframe dinosaur here trying not to get left behind.

Thanks

well if your prepared to use freebie stuff look at Resin, it uses IBM's
servlet engine, consequently its probably the fastest servlet/jsp engine on
the market, faster than websphere...odd that.

Not sure how to access the mainframe - you'll have to work that one out
yourself but I'm sure you'll have no problems.

If I was learning something new it would be JSP/servlets over Coldfusion
because of its open flexibility.

You can put Webshere on the Mainframe!
