Re: Any websites using JSP

[Bentz, David C]

 

Right...I agree...a corporation should not have to completely change, based on the latest and greatest new technology.  No company in the world(excluding Big Bill) can afford to do this.

 

"If a Web system is written in ASP and works" but that is the other point...IT DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. 

 

Plain and simple:

Their site is based on JSP...So the information on their page is just as new as the technology they promote on their site. The bottom line is that the site grew out of a need or desire to promote JSP's.

 

If the site was based on Server technology, dealing w/ASP and JSP or was tailored from a site built in ASP, that that would be something completely different.

Who cares what they use. I am just thankful that they are here. Why would you expect a company to re-write their entire system every time a new technology comes out. The idea is to introduce new technologies into a system when and where it is needed. Not to pledge allegiance to every new technology that comes out and disregard all others. If a Web system is written in ASP and works, what is the ROI of re-writing it just to say " they practice what they preach".  Next lets blast them if they aren't on the newest box or OS.

This site does use Active Server Pages.  I tried to sign up for their "how 2 jsp tips", and received and ADO error.  So they definitely are using ASP for some of their site.

I don't know what this site really uses, but trying to make assumptions about
the technology being used based on the extensions you see in URLs is pretty
dubious.  Consider how easy it would be to make the JSWDK servlet engine
map ".asp" to the JSP servlet -- a one line addition in the mapping.properties
file.

Why would I ever do this?  Well, if I had converted an ASP app to JSP, and
there were lots of external hyperlinks to the inside pages, I would sure be
tempted to do this mapping so that the external hyperlinks would stil lbe
valid.

For that matter, what makes us so positive that every URL ending in ".html" is
a static file?  Only your web server knows for sure ...
