Someone was right. JSP is the extension for Java Server Pages and it is ALSO the extension for pages generated using Broadvision -- Java Script Pages.... If you go to the Broadvision web site, they claim that they used the extension for their product long before java server pages came out. So when perusing web sites with jsp extensions, it does not mean they are java server pages, they may be Broadvision pages instead. (Which Broadvision uses pure javascript technology... not java.)

Someone wrote as a reply that pages with the extenision .jsp is not necessarily a java server page, it's just a dynamically created page, all i have to say is: Whaaaat? Of course it's a java server page, active server pages have the extension .asp and java server pages has .jsp as an extension..... Duh!!! And for what the initial email that the above reader responded to, there is no reason in this universe that anyone would want to use cgi instead of JSPs. CGI is the worst technology that the internet was ever corrupted with. It's so slow, it's the reason why E-Commerce sites looses a lot of business when customers click on the Submit button and they have to wait an hour before the transaction has completed, so they the users/clients just leave out of impatience. Also cgi is hacker prone. I read on the Techweb site that a hacker can easily retrieve credit card information and so on on a web site that uses CGI. Secondly it's so damn slow, thirdly, if you are part of an E-Commerce company or Consulting Firm, then if you tell you clients that you still use CGI, hehe, then you can kiss them goodbye soon.
