Re : Re : Questions about JSP and EJB

[David Grospellier CROSS SYSTEM]

Hello,     Fine !! If we had the same problems we would find the best solutions !! I'm sorry of my very sad English but If you undestand me, it's the most important ! :))     OK. I think you've done a great choice. I want to study these solutions. JSP seems to be a good alternative to ASP but I want to know if it works on a Windows NT machine and which development tools could I use to implement JSP pages ?     EJB components seems to be a good solution but I also a bit afraid about performance ! Did it really seems to run slow because of Java or not ? I have also to choose a Transactionnal Monitor to perform load balancing, security, administration and also another things. Did you have to choose one too ???     Thank you.
