Eric Parizo, Assistant News Editor
Folks, I'm going to be totally honest with you. None of us expected the massive number of responses we've received from you about the Java Server Pages (JSP) issue. For those of you who are just now recovered from Lotusphere 2002 and missed the controversy, here's what happened: During the annual Orlando funfest, Lotus abandoned its Domino/Garnet development initiative -- it would have given Domino native JSP support -- in favor of an embedded version of WebSphere using Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). However, it now appears that Lotus may include JSP support in Domino 6 after all. We've provided more detail for you in this searchDomino exclusive. In case you missed the results of our reader poll in response to the nnouncement, here they are. And don't forget to keep sending your opinions our way, whether they are on JSP vs. J2EE, or about anything you see on searchDomino. Thanks for reading, and have a great week! Here are the results to our J2EE Poll:
Lotus has announced that Domino 6 will not support Java Server Pages -- a full-blown J2EE server like WebSphere is needed instead. Is this a good move?
79%: No way! I want to run Domino, not WebSphere. (1674 votes)
11%: Maybe. Performance might be better, but I'm concerned about the cost. (239 votes)
5%: Absolutely. It'll increase WebSphere adoption in Domino shops. (112 votes)
4%: It doesn't matter to me as long as Domino 6 is released on time. (85 votes)

Domino 6 may include JSP support after all
Support for Java Server Pages (JSPs) may turn up in the final release of Domino 6 after all. A source at Lotus told searchDomino that IBM has not decided whether to use a version of IBM's WebSphere application server or Lotus' Garnet JSP engine. Lotus announced it was cutting Garnet during Lotusphere 2002 even though it had already been well received by the Domino developer community.
