janus,
jsp a java spec that has a tag library set built on top of the HTTP servlet
API that the sun folks developed so that java web developers would have a
server side component that 1) managed HTTP request/response paradigms
2)allowed straight HTML tags/data to be embedded in the JSP so as to avoid
having to fudge the HTML through a server component that went through some
histrionics to spit out strings that could be recognized as HTML in the
client 3)could leverage java code (and other scripts, such as JavaScript) in
the JSP 4) and could be extended via xml (creating your own tag libraries
Put more simply (sorry, listening to the rolling stones and typing java info
doesn't always add up to elegantly stated responses ;O) jsp is java.
so, i think the real issue here is the one that kevin brought up. what
capabilities are you looking for in a web app server? at a minimum, you
need the capability to manage connections and sessions with the Oracle 8i
environment. if you plan on having lots of user hits, you will need the
ability to manage connections to server. you will want an evironment that
lets you user a true, object-oriented component based architecture if
scalability, modularity, and maintainability are important.
that said, a pure java app server environment is a great choice because java
is an open standard not proprietary.
if iPlanet does seem to be able to do this out of the box, great.
if your architecture needs to support n-tier capabilities, multiple
deployments, and heavy traffic, you might want a heavy weight web app server
like BEA's weblogic 5.1.
just an opinion...
