It depends on the type of web apps you are developing.
If you are just porting your old apps into N-tier web apps, ASP is a much
faster and easier approach. Why? You only have to recompile (and of course,
do some debugging) your source codes into ActiveX dlls (provided they are
developed in VB, VC, Delphi, Powerbuilder or other ActiveX compliant
compiler) and then registered them under Mircosoft's Transaction Server for
use in ASP. Hence, the application and business logic codes do not have to
be recoded. Only the client's interface have to be recoded in ASP. Of
course, you can still use JSP in porting projects by using Java with CORBA
to run distributed objects written in different languages but the process
would not be as smooth as using Mircosoft's Transaction Server.
However, if you are developing a brand new web app, JSP would be a better
choice if you need to be running in servers that are having different OS
but the disadvantage is that you must develop entirely in Java language
(though you are call native methods written in other languages, it would be
OS dependant). On the other hand, ASP is powerful if your web apps is
database driven because its tight integration with ADO (ActiveX Database
Object) will speed up development time by providing a simple yet powerful
interface to any SQL, ODBC-compliant databases.
