ASP vs. JSP

[st_michael]

A new technology was introduced by Sun to compete with ASP. There have been
some reviews or comments by industry experts about the difference between
the two : ASP and JSP. From what i have read, each has its own advantage
over the other, but when it comes to performance, it seems that most agree
that JSP provides a far reaching performance over ASP. I would like to ask
your opinion about this. With the advent of ASP 3.0 which comes with
Windows 2000, how would ASP perform in the serverside script battle.
From my experienced, i've noticed that some ASP based commercial websites
often fail or result to connection timeout and other related error.

There are some articles on it at www.devx.com. I haven't used jsp only asp.
the reason sites have problems with connections etc is often the result of
poor coding and architecture and not the technology of asp. ASP 3.0 is out
and other than a few things not much different than 2.0. ASP+ is on the
horizon and will have to wait and see on that. The reason i prefer asp is
corp numbers using microsoft products and the ability to integrate with
those products, the other is ADO.

ASP will out perform JSP by upto 4 times the speed in windows 2000, and
thats a proven fact. Thats not to knock JSP, its powerful because it has
access to the whole of java. and you can do a lot with it.

The strength and deciding factor for me is that ASP is very mature, while
JSP is very new. Its also a lot more complicated with few examples, while
the objects in ASP are very good and the net is abundant with code examples
and ASP sites.

Alok,

ASP can access any remote drive that the OS can access. If you need to access
some funky external file system, then you need to make sure you can access
it. Thats an OS/3rd party issue, not an ASP issue.

ASP/COM/SQL web apps are the fastest out there right now (assuming equivalent
hardware). Java development environments are historically slower, but you
get a true OO development environment (which also has its pros and cons when
developing n-tier web apps). I havent seen any JSP benchmarks, or played
with it myself yet...so cant comment on the speed. But then again, who cares?
In most cases, you dont decide on an environment based on which is marginally
faster (or even significantly faster) you pick it based on your available
talent and the long term goals of your dept.

When JSP matures, it will be a true competitor to ASP .... and thats a good
thing. Up to now, the closest equivalent to ASP for Unix was PHP....which
while a good product....is not JSP. More importantly, JSP offers a wonderful
and powerful development environment for those committed to stayin on a Unix
platform.
