Hi,
I am not an expert on technology evaluation, but i can definetely share
my experiences.
I have developed applications using both technologies ASP and JSP.
Here are a few differences
ASP works only with Microsoft IIS server , it does work with Apache also but you
need Chillisoft for that.
JSP pages can be served on a large number of JSP/servlet containers.
You can choose the one that best suits your requirements and budget , a lot of
them are available for free too.
The scripting language for ASP is VBScript
The scripting language for JSP is Java , so it gives more development power , as
you can use all the available features of java .
A JSP page is not compiled everytime you serve it.Also the container does not
start a new process for every page , this gives a performance gain.
Javabeans can be used with JSPs for easy retrieval and updates of database
fields.
JSPs are based on Java which allows you to extend and reuse your pages if you
want to.
On the other hand the learning curve on JSP is a little more compared to ASP.
You need to know Java basics.
ASP are comparatively easy to write , they provide a lot of wrapper functions.
JSP being based on JAVA makes development more structured and object oriented.
Error trapping is better in JSP , using try and catch statements
hope this helps
