Steven,
If the client has a thoroughly thought out plan, and JSP fits well with
that plan, then he/she probably does know what they want. Otherwise, it's
probably the equivalent of a beauty contest. In that case, their decision
would be based on less quantifiable or definable issues. If they are only
"leaning," then it might be good to give them the alternatives with dollar
estimates. It's going to cost the client more money or less money,
depending on which route they take. Someone else might be able to do a JSP
site for less than you could do it using CF. Or maybe you can save them a
lot of money and provide other benefits they hadn't considered before.
Unless the client is as technically savvy as you, side by side comparisons
are of little use, IMO. They're still going to decide the issue on the same
criteria they would have used otherwise. If you can discover those
criteria, you can help them decide what is most beneficial to them.
HTH,

Hi,
I'm developing a site that will eventually involve some dynamic
components. I intended to use CF or PHP, but the client is
leaning towards JSP. In what scenario would this be a better
option? Any famous lists of pros and cons out there?
Thanks.
