There's a give and a take.  You have to decide what's ultimately the most
important.  As for performance and tight programmatic control JSP seems to
be better.  If you require a quick time to market, ASP is probably your best
bet.


1. Performance (support for high hit rates)

 JSP is better.  It compiles to servlets instead of being line-x-line
interpreted.  BUT, ASP+ should do this as well when it comes out.  You also
have the option of not running on NT which can mean you'll potentially see a
performance boost.

2. Ease of Development

 Not too bad but not nearly as easy as ASP. The syntax is more complex, and
some things that would normally take 1 linein ASP, take many more in JSP.
Retrieving a simple cookie for instance. On the other hand, Java offers a
great number of resources inherently.  On the other hand, with ASP you have
some pretty amazing products like SiteServer you can rely upon.

3. Ease of Maintenance

That all depends upon how you architect your project.

4. Development Time

ASP was built for RAD development; a cousin of VB - one of the all-time
great RAD tools.

Hi Gurus:

Can anybody list down the advantages and disadvantages of ASP vs JSP w.r.t
the following:

1. Performance (support for high hit rates)
2. Ease of Development
3. Ease of Maintenance
4. Development Time

We ahve to develop a portal taht initially might have hit rates of  100/hour
and shud be scalable to 1000/hour. But all the hits will be for very small
duration coz the request will then be directed to other sites.

Yet, no decision has been made regarding the platform and there r no
restrictions on choice.

Also I would like to know if there are any known bugs with JSPs or anything
that is not supported by JSP but is supported by ASP.

I require to know this asap.

Thanks & Regards
Ruta
