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!

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. > To stay in you example, comparing php (or ruby for this matter) to > java is like comparing bicycles with cars. > Sure its fun to make a ride on sunday.

Ancient history, I know, but I'll respond anyway. A Model T Ford is a perfectly good car.

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. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites
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?

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. Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

However, I am not saying JSP is a very good spec or anything like that, as it is needlessly complicated.

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. | 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. 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.

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. > Can you show how a simle math routine or for loop routne in a script > 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.

Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites
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.

Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 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.

Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites
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. - Original Message From: Martin Gainty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tomcat Users List Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 8:05:22 AM Subject: Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites Good Morning Jack- As Tomcat is OpenSource (and not proprietary) and can be installed on any OS (vs just 1) I dont undertand What is causing the number of Tomcat users to attenuate over time?

Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites
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.

Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites
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.
