Ok I revise my statement. If it suits your requirements, you may well deploy Tomcat on production setups, but in my few years in J2EE development, I have never encountered a reasonably sized company opting to do so. I haven't handled a full J2EE development project for some time now so things may have changed. >> And standalone jsps cannot >> hope to compare with stadalone php pages so it's not a fair >> comparison. > > > Could you please elaborate here?

Jsps are crippled without a servlet or two thrown in. On top of that Jsp development requires you to keep in mind that jsps are ultimately servlet objects themselves running in a "container" with a "lifecycle" which has it's own nuances to take care of, requiring a bit of an effort to get advanced functionality out of Jsps (Request and response objects?? Once you get to echo "whatever", you will not go back). Also, from what I have experienced, the most painful aspects of jsps come from the fact that Java is unsuitable as a scripting language. It just doesn't fit in the quick and dirty web development model and starts to get on your nerves after a while. Lastly, many supposedly cool jsp features require you to break out of jsps and into to-the-metal coding (e.g. custom tags). -- Anupam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
