Re: (clug-talk) PHP ---> JSP or Servlets ??

[Evan Brown]

What kind of data base are you running your site on? You may have to buy a 
JDBC driver if you have a closed source db, In my case it was M$ SQL 
Server 7, which can be pricey. Have you done any JSP/Servleting? I did a 
similar thing to what you are wanting to do, I rewrote a site that was in 
ASP, it took a bit since I didn't know anything about JSP and all the Java 
I knew was self taught.

Do you really expect Java to be faster than PHP ?
I doubt it
do you have benchmarks to back this up?  if so, I think I can probably 
find some that show the converse.  point is I think both PHP and Java 
are more than adequate for almost any webapp, given well written code, 
appropriate hardware resources, and proper profile driven optimizations 
if needed.  Java may have higher overhead in both learning curve and 
system setup, but it can compensate in other ways.  It seems to me the 
choice between the two is frequently a matter of taste.
