Allaire purchased JRun servlet engine last June, and in the last month or so purchased
Ejbt (?),
an enterprise level servlet engine that supports EJB. So, what does that tell you
about
where
Allaire thinks the future of server side dynamic content is? Looks like they are
betting
on
Java.
I have not used CF, but IMHO, if you were to choose between CF and JSP/servlets at this
point in time, the choice would have to be an open technology like JSP/servlets over a
proprietary
technology like CF. A java based solution is more portable between OS/web
server/hardware,
more flexible, and more extensible.
My goal for JSP is to use it for presentation only, put all the business logic in
reusable
components such as beans and tag libs so that web publshers can create dynamic content
using a publishing tool without having to write any java code.
I have done some performance testing of different servlet engines. Overall I have been
very impressed with performance, especially when using the Sun HotSpot JVM which can
do profiled selective optimization of java byte codes into native CPU opcodes so that
java code that gets executed frequently eventually ends up running almost as fast as a
compiled
executable. Plus the HotSpot GC performs very well in a server environment.
Just my 2 cents, your mileage may vary.

Glenn
