To comment on the last message:
ASP is interpreted as opposed to being compiled using scripting languages
(mostly VBScript, JScript (similar to Javascript) and Perl in some cases).
ASP actually does have a fair amount of components available but are usually
3rd party. It is proprietary to IIS EXCEPT in the case where ChiliSoft is
used. Chilisoft runs on "non-IIS" web servers but I have no experience with
it. Not sure how well it works. ASP integrates well with COM, MTS and ADO in
the Microsoft world.
Servlets - write once, run everywhere ("everywhere" meaning an environment
that can be configured with a java web server and servlet engine - which can
be a challenge in a development environment with multiple operating systems
(as I am currenlty experiencing). As someone stated earlier, "Servlets are
compiled excutables that can run multi-threaded and can stay in memory
throughout of the life cycle of the web server, with the benefit of the
security provided by the web server and the session management provided by
Java."

servlet is write once, run everywhere, and asp needs IIS.
Sevlets can use Java classes and asp doesn�t have many components
already done.

Subject: servlet vs asp??
Hello forum,
This is a much talked about topic, servlet vs asp. However while making
a
presentation I realised that I did not have enough material on the topic
and
certainly not enough evidence to back up my claims. Could anybody
suggest
some links or perhaps give me some material on this topic.
I am making a ppt on servlets. Although I hate making ppt this is an
office
assignment. Have anybody of the forum been through the hassle? Can you
provide me the stuff so that I do not have to go through the same
gruelling
task again?
brgds
partha.
