I would be willing to put together such a table on my site if someone could
help me out on the ASP and PHP side. I could offer my knowledge of CF and
JSP.
Someone asked a similar question on another list...this was my reply:
Im an intermediate CF developer and I have just started to do some JSP
development for the past couple of months. I would not generalize on which
is the better choice but instead I would base the decision on the project at
hand. I am very interested to see what happens to ColdFusion with the recent
merger of Allaire and macromedia. In terms of the languages themselves, CF
is more of a proprietary language which started out as a simple scripting
language. JSP is an extension of Java which has very strong roots as a
"purely object oriented" language and in my opinion is a better cross
platform option (although CF has gained alot of ground in this area). CF
also offers a mild learning curve compared to other languages like ASP and
JSP.
One thing I can say about both languages is that I have not seen a pure
"seperation of presentation and business logic" framework. The closest
approach I have seen for CF is Fusebox and for JSP, the MVC (Model View
Controller) or Model II framework which is being attempted by the Jakarta
project (Struts).
My best suggestion for choosing between them is to take a weekend and do
some research and if you are really gung ho, try to develop a simple app in
each to get the feel of each.
Just my two cents,

Agree 100%. I know I'm not asking much, but it sure would be great to
locate a comprehensive and up-to-date comparison chart that also
includes PHP and JSP.
