RE: Is jsp designed for use by large websites

I believe SJAS 9 must be still using Tomcat. No reason for Sun to change the
Servlet/JSP container. Agree?

I can not comment about the stability of SJAS 9 as I am still using EJB2 - I
did a quick try and realize I have to upgrade my EJB facility to EJB3. Would
appreciate your findings!

Is SJAS 9 really using tomcat inside ? its already 2.5 and the behaviour is
slightly different like the getContextPath(), and other function which
returns null at tomcat 5.5 has a return value at SJAS 9.

Log log = Utility.getLogger(this);
ServletContext context = evt.getServletContext();
log.info("servlet context name : " + context.getServletContextName()
);
log.info("server info : " + context.getServerInfo());
log.info("servlet api " + context.getMajorVersion() + '.' +
context.getMinorVersion());

My first like-for-like example would be .Net - and for those who don't
think this is a community compared to Java, note that both have large
companies supporting them.  To anticipate an argument, comparing Java to
PHP or Ruby simply "because it's not Microsoft" is specious.  One should
compare like with like.


The original posters question was about php, that's why i was talking
about php (and ruby since its pretty similar).
Comparing Java and .NET is natural, but I fear it's hard to make out
great differences between both concerning development times or hosting
costs.
I would say that you can implement each project with both Java and
.NET in same time and same staff costs if you'd knew both equally
well. So you just should pick the one that fits the project, the
customer's wishes and requirements better and the one you know better.
Generally speaking I think that the fastest path is the one you know best.



My second like-for-not-like community would be PHP.  It's a community
that doesn't have major corporate backing, but the rate of innovation of
packages in the PHP world is very high indeed.  I feel it's not
necessarily ideal for large sites - where this thread started - due to
its present implementation, but it's certainly good for small to medium
sites.


Again, you will deliver best performance with tools you know best. But
for non-functional requirements like performance, stability,
scalability, robustness, extensibility, flexibility, manageability and
so on php is not really an alternative.

But realising that not everybody requires a 4-seater car, and that (say)
a Smart car is relevant, is *precisely* an example of out-innovation.


Disagreed with the example since the bicycle misses the critical parts
of the car - i.e. the motor. You can build a car-looking bike, but
without a motor it will stay a bike.

A Model T Ford is a perfectly good car.  However, if Ford don't innovate
and other car manufacturers do, people buying new cars will switch away
from Ford to vehicles that are cheaper, faster, have lower fuel costs or
innovations like a roof.

Tomcat and JSP is a perfectly good model for web applications.  However,

communities do (for example the PHP community and Microsoft), people
deploying new applications will switch away from Tomcat and JSP to
systems that are cheaper, faster to develop, have lower hosting/running

The issue is not that Tomcat is bad in absolute terms, it's simply that
other communities are out-innovating it so it's becoming a (perceived)
poorer *relative* choice.

I'm not trying to agree or disagree, but sincerely want to know what systems are

1) cheaper
2) faster to develop

and what features do they have that make them so.

I don't have knowledge of PHP, but I think Java, JSP/JSTL combined with XML and 
XSLT/XPath are versatile in comparison to other languages, and these languages 
are constantly evolving - faster than I can memorize them ;-( 

I've read in a few books that Java5 has evolved considerably from its previous 
versions.
There's a nice "before" and "after" code snippets that show what the changes 
are:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/releases/j2se15/

I've been exposed to some other languages like ColdFusion, Pega, (Old ASP and 
Old VB), Javascript but don't find them as versatile as Java but this was a 
while ago, things could have changed by now.

I find learning Java is tough, still struggling with it, but I want to focus on 
one language and learn it properly than switching between languages.

In regards to the aspects about the architecture I believe that the 
choice of using JSP and Java technology is a good one for you and your 
customers.  The reason is the possibility for using Web services, 
services and in the hopefully near future Semantic Web technologies. Its 
a fact that it is a scaleable solution with perspective for further 
development of the site/sites. And what about portals/portlets?


I have no experience with PHP - so is the above possible with PHP?

Dear List,

JSP is designed to be used for Websites. Depending what you do with 
it, changes where it can be used for a Large Web Site.


As for the questions.

1a. Who cares if JSP is not supported by web hosting companies - Large 
web sites have their own infrastructure.
1b. Both are programming languages - both have strengths and 
weaknesses - you can do the same thing with both -
you could even use plain 'c' if you feel like it. Use which ever you

2.  How many users a 'language' has is irrelevant. Glad to see you are

Remy is right, with JSPs also it's possible to instantly see your changes by 
simply refreshing your browser. 

I would like to add though that this purely depends on how your project is set 
up. 

You can have Tomcat point to the folder which contains the *source code* this 
is what allows one to instantaneously see the changes made to a JSP page. Do 
this in the development environment. 

Many (including myself) thought that we have to deploy all source files from 
source folder to Tomcat's webapps folder to see the changes made to the JSP. 
You can easily avoid this deploy cycle by simply pointing Tomcat to the source 
folder either in your app's context file which is located at:
\apache-tomcat-5.5.12\conf\Catalina\localhost

OR 

inside Host configuration in server.xml

Deploy cycle should only be reserved for creating WAR files for either staging, 
production environment and not for seeing changes made to JSPs in development 
environment.

This will save a lot of time and clicks and changes to JSPs can be seen 
instantaneously simply by refreshing your browser.

One thing about JSPs are they are a bit slower since they get compiled on the 
first call. This can be solved by pre-compiling JSPs. 
There's good documentation on how to pre-compile JSPs with ANT on this site. 

Another disadvantage is that JSPs tend to be slower when there's a lot of 
hard-coded text right inside the JSP itself (HTML + documentation). 
To make JSPs faster I put large documents inside an XML file and then read the 
contents of the XML file inside the JSP, with JSTL tags. But, I think many 
people read documentation from the database or some kind of a MVC framework and 
html is dynamically generated.

You can do that with JSP too (including taglibs which can be written
as tag files which look just like JSPs - and are editable in place in
the same way too). However, I am not saying JSP is a very good spec or
anything like that, as it is needlessly complicated.

Most of all, it's probably a matter of complexity as others said: when
doing a Java project, people never seem to do a two JSP webapp
(without taglibs, etc).

I think Chris has put his finger on the real issue here.  I've been on
both PHP and JSP projects, and the PHP projects typically had a
prototype up and running (at least demo-able) in days if not hours.
This was because the bulk of the PHP developers were "web developers",
who created their HTML first, then added code to it (often as much
JavaScript as PHP).  PHP development is very amenable to this style of
development.  In contrast, the JSP projects were typically stocked with
Java developers, who sat down and analyzed the requirements and worked
out a design before they wrote anything.  They also tended to write
taglibs and other supporting classes in Java rather than use JavaScript.
Testing JSPs also seems to take longer, although a good IDE should make
it fast (I've never used an IDE that had good JSP support).  With PHP,
you tend to have two windows open: editor and browser.  Change the page
in the editor, save the change, hit refresh on the browser: boom,
there's your change.  With JSPs, it was always: edit, save, deploy to
Tomcat, go to test launcher page, then click on link/button to launch
the modified page (refresh didn't always cause a recompile, don't know
if that was a browser or Tomcat (or Apache->Tomcat) issue).

Again, as Chris said, it's an issue of project complexity.  I haven't
met any slap-something-together-quick, shoot-from-the-hip Java
developers, and precious few design-before-you-build PHP coders.  I
think PHP is superior in the fast-paced web site design market, where
the ability to make radical changes in a site's layout or navigation is
critical.  JSPs seem more at home in the web application market, where
stability and reliability are paramount.

I think this is more of a function of the development team's attitude.
Like I said, PHP coders think nothing of throwing away large chunks of
code, whereas JSP developers tend to think in terms of reuse.  There's
nothing inherent in PHP that makes it difficult to maintain, but (IME)
they are written to be disposable.  Many web sites want a new look and
feel every six months to a year, so the site gets entirely rewritten.
They also tend to be static, so once they're up and working they don't
get touched.

Wow... Java seems to enjoy a nice margin over the others. My experience
has been that Java developers are not that much in demand -- at least
not in the DC area.

> language PHP performs faster than a language java?

I believe that PHP is not entirely interpreted, at least not all the
time. It's unclear to me what Zend brings to the table, honestly. I
think what you'll find is that most web apps are very simple, and that
the performance characteristics of each language are far outweighed by
the performance of network connections (both HTTP and database) as well
as any database activity that you are doing in your app.

> Can you show how PHP supports ?

Yeah, PHP doesn't really do threads. You have to rely on the web
server's request processing configuration for concurrency. One advantage
of PHP is that pretty much everything is isolated (at least, if you use
apache httpd and the prefork MPM), so you generally need not worry about
synchronization, etc. -- at least not for objects and such.

> Can you show how PHP supports inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation?

I don't think any of that is available in PHP. They do have objects, but
they are loosely typed, which sort of blurs definition of "true" OO.
Still, I maintain that most webapps are stupid simple, and many don't
even write their own code outside of CRUD functions. Since those types
of things don't require you to know anything about OO, many developers
can get away without an OO language.

> Can you show how PHP supports all Java scope (request/page and application)?

The request scope /does/ exist, and the page scope implicitly exists
since a PHP script can be thought of a one big method (kinda like a
vanilla JSP page). The application scope pretty much does not exist.
There is a "global" scope, but I am unclear as to the behavior across
multiple instances of the PHP engine... for instance, does each script
get a separate copy of the "global" variable? Probably. Does that make
it not really a global variable? I suppose that depends on your point of
view.

The bottom line for the whole PHP versus Java thing for me is perceived
complexity of a project. If I want it done super fast and super simple,
I'll go for PHP. If I want to actually architect something, then I'll
turn to Java. My experience has been that as PHP projects grow, they
become very difficult to maintain. Not so (or, at least, not so much!)
with Java.

Just my .02.

Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites

2006-11-30 Thread Htin Kyaw Nyo

I am a jsp developer ,too, but honestly not a j2ee guru.

I don't see any reason that jsp/j2ee will have a bad potential in the
future.
However, by the time jsf is mature, jsp users may be gradually transformed
to jsf/ajax developers  which is a modern trend in the future.
jsp/jsf has one great advantage in using JAVA as mid-tier or business logic
language. Consequently the combination of jsp/jsf/j2ee is best suited for
enterprise level, multi-tier webapps while PHP is versatile (but not the
best) and easy maintenance. It depends on the choice between convenience and
power. In addition, the "catch" for jsp/jsf/j2ee is "huge learning carve" to
get the most out of jsp/jsf. That's the main reason why PHP developers are
more common than j2ee developers.

Hello,

My logic is:

1a. JSP is not supported by many web hosting companies
or is only supported in more expensive dedicated
server plans. In contrast, open source alternatives
such as php is well-supported by web hosting
companies.
  -> Result: most small and medium sized
websites/webapps that do not need a dedicated server
use php.
1b. JSP has many great features. But php is also very
powerful and has some capabilities that jsp doesn't
have.
  -> Result: some heavy-traffic websites/webapps that
require dedicated servers use jsp. Some others use php
(eg. yahoo
[http://news.com.com/2100-1023-963937.html]).
-> 2. There are more php users than jsp users.
  -> 3. More people get involved in the
development and support of php, while fewer people get
involved in the development and support of jsp/tomcat.
-> Result 1: PHP evolves in a faster pace.
Some great features that only jsp supports originally
may start to be supported by php.
-> Result 2: More (open source) tools/programs
are built on top of php. For example, open-source
software, phpbb, is used to run many heavy traffic
forums such as forums.mozillazine.org.
  -> 4. As php becomes more powerful and there
are more php tools/programs, more people switch to it.
So, we go back to point 2 and the circulation
continues.
-> 5. The number of jsp users becomes
smaller.
  -> 6. Fewer people will get involved in
the development and support of jsp/tomcat and so the
future of jsp/tomcat will become less certain.

I point this out because i like jsp and i am concerned
about its future. I am not sure if my logic is
correct. Correct me if you find any mistakes.

Dear List,

JSP is designed to be used for Websites. Depending what you do with  
it, changes where it can be used for a Large Web Site.


As for the questions.

1a. Who cares if JSP is not supported by web hosting companies -  
Large web sites have their own infrastructure.
1b. Both are programming languages - both have strengths and  
weaknesses - you can do the same thing with both -
you could even use plain 'c' if you feel like it. Use which ever you  
are most comfortable with.
2.  How many users a 'language' has is irrelevant. Glad to see you  
are quoting informative sources. :-)


Architecture is the issue - not language.

More website uses php -> more php users than jsp?

One HSBC website alone counts millions of Java Servlet/JSP users. How
about another mission-critical website in Hong Kong, PPS?
Thus, as Java technology is the backbone of mission-critical services,
the support and development will continue.

Yup, I don't think there's anything Tomcat could do to make *small cost* 
hosting companies to embrace Tomcat. 

Many big businesses are using Tomcat. But, when it comes to smaller hosting 
companies I've come accross only one host in the US 
who supports Tomcat with MySQL everyone else only support JSP and MySQL and PHP.

You'll find some threads on this here if you search for JSP Hosting, it would 
be nice if all hosts mentioned there support Tomcat and not just JSP. 
But it's entirely up to the hosting companies.

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=45&threadID=635513
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=45&threadID=573893

Many of them simply support JSP and don't allow uploading other JAR or WAR 
files. This limits an application significantly when it grows. 
Plus deploying a WAR file is much easier. 

So, it's really up to the hosting companies to install Tomcat on the backend.

Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites

2006-11-28 Thread Jack
Hello all,

Anyone know if tomcat's roadmap includes any plans to
make tomcat more web hosting friendly? If not, i think
the tomcat development team should consider about it,
because this problem is seriously constraining the
popularity of jsp and it forces web developers who
like jsp to consider other server side languages. As
the number of jsp users becomes smaller, fewer people
will get involved in the development and support of
tomcat and so the future of tomcat will become less
certain. JSP has many great features and I think it
will be a lot more popular if it's better supported by
web hosting companies.

Jack

Well, I don't know where you live, but why you don't consider other
provider out of where you live?
About PHP or JSP... for sure is much faster develop a web page with PHP,
but what about mantein it? Does PHP support MVC pattern? For simply
application, and Im talking about web application, not web page, I used in
the past JSP, today for a medium-large webapplication Im studying Struts
framework. If you are doing web page that have to evolve for any reason in
short time I'll suggest anyway JSP even without struts.

So far I've found only 1 host provider that supports JSPs and WAR files for 
about the same cost as the PHP hosts - around 6 bucks/mo. but the server 
crashes/shuts-down quite often; probably because it's over loaded with too many 
virtual hosts.

Everyone else hosts on PHP as you said. 

There are also some other hosts that support only JSPs but don't support WAR 
files, which limits a web application considerably if you plan to use MVC 
framework and such, those are not supported by other hosts.

Hello!

If you want to develop a small or medium webapplication
and you or your programmers is familiar with PHP I think
it is no doubt use PHP.

Two years ago when I was in online ecommerce industry I used only
PHP. These days I was not familiar with Java. Now I am
a Java Developer. Nowadays I develop medium and large
enterprise applications mostly. And anyway
I think I will not use JSP for developing a small application.

If you don't have a dedicated server It is hardly to find
hosting with JSP supports. 99,99% hosting companies
supports PHP by default.
