Yes, www.altavista.co.uk, www.altavista.fr, www.altavista.se,
www.altavista.nl are in all JSP, while www.altavista.de has parts in JSP
(BabelFish and Multimedia searches).
Yes, it is possible to build large sites in JSP. But you will run into
problems. There are few products out there today that can handle the load,
and most of the engines have problems and bugs making them
unusable. Especially if you are forced to use Apache as webserver.
Any problems we might have had were not because of Java, or performance
issues, but rather by bugs in the JSP engines. Alot of bugs doesn't
surface until you have a webserver that gets hit by 700 simultaneous
requests on the same page (ServletExec has quite a few interesting
problems, because they are not synchronizing correctly. Those bugs never
show on a system with low traffic - but they become very apparent when you
have many many hits).
(btw, during our tests, Orion was 6 times faster, and had 3 times better
throughput, than Apache+ServletExec... unfortunately we can't use Orion,
because it has not been released yet, and has no commercial backing).
