I think it's more of a basic Java vs ColdFusion technology choice. It's
more like choosing ASP or PHP over ColdFusion. Once you've decided
you're going to use Java / J2EE then you pick an application server and
that puts you in the JBoss, JRun, Sun ONE, IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic
etc marketplace.
What makes people choose JSP over CFML as their technology? All sorts
of factors really. I, personally, don't like JSP - I think it's ugly
and low-level. I think the same about ASP and PHP in fact. I prefer
CFML as a language (and CFMX 6.1 as an implementation). But a lot of
people don't know enough about CFML to consider it a viable alternative
to JSP and / or they believe the FUD - Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt -
spread by CF's detractors...
Your question was posed as "why choose product A over product B?" but I
think the underlying technology question is more interesting...
