Unless you can find an app that converts asp->jsp then you will have a
rewrite problem on your hands.
There are apps that convert asp to php3 (sorry, I don't have the link to
hand) which will allow you to
run the app on unix. There are also server extensions that will allow you
run asp on UNIX platforms (not
recommended however).
Any conversion you have will to do will entail rewrites in proportion to the
size of the app whichever route you take.
If you do decide to rewrite rather than attempt a convert (and if you are
using COM objects in your app you may have to regardless)
then you can move over to JSP (Java Server Pages). This will go someway to
minimising your rewrite costs. JSP supports the <% %> format
for separating server side and client side code (even <SCRIPT RUNAT=SERVER>
is supported)
