Phil,
Could you outline your concerns regarding ASP and JSP? I think both
languages are appropriate given the nature of the existing hardware,
software and staffing infrastructure. Your performance requirements and the
complexity of the application also affect the decision.
Although there are inherent limitations of scripting languages (such as
ASP), the correct architecture can help to reduce the cost of this
shortcoming. The point made regarding the optimized relationship of ASP -
IIS - COM - SQL Server 7.0 is also significant. Microsoft has corrected
their original assumption that ASP can be used to build a complete
application. Instead they now propose that your data access and business
logic are done in compiled languages such as VB, J++ or C++. The UI logic
is really what is done in ASP.
It all depends on the specifics of the application and organization.
