If you change the names, this is an equivalent FLOSS setup:
Web browser (FireFox) <--> web server (Apache) on Linux <--> Tomcat w/JSP (java)
Is that correct? Am I close?
The model is good, ..
If I am, can the analogy be extended? Specifically, ASP can handle VBScript and JScript (JavaScript) natively as well as perl and presumableyother languages with 3rd party plug-ins. Does Tomcat do more than just Java Server Pages?
but there it breaks:
1) I have only seen .asp pages contain ASP. JS (which normally runs on a browser), can only be used for certain applications within IIS, but I'm pretty sure the only way to tell IIS what code you have is by the file extension (.js). Can someone confirm this?
2) JSP *IS* Java code, compiled by the Tomcat engine into a byte-code state (binary). This greatly increases performance (but not as much as native executable code).
