>General Questions:
>1. Instance Persistence - Does ASP support the concept of persistence
>across requests or are the pages always re-loaded and interpreted
>for each client request?
Pages are not re-loaded, but they are re-interpreted.
>1. Image Generation - Does ASP support the ability to generate
>dynamic image data?
ASP does not inherently do this, but since it supports COM, it is capable,
given the right toolkit.
>2. Image Composition - If the answer to 1 is yes, can ASP
>provide the ability to combine images or draw text on top of an existing
>image?
Yes, with a COM Toolkit.
>3. Compressed Content - Servlets can take advantage of Java's data
>compression utilities to send compressed content back to the client.
>Does ASP provide a method for accomplishing this task?
See above.
>1. The Session Tracking API - Does ASP provide anything which serves
>the same functionality as the Session Tracking API?
Yes.
>1. Connection Pooling - Does ASP have a way of establishing and
>maintaining a connection pool or does database connection and
>validation accompany each request?
ASP handles connection pooling totally transparently. This part of ASP is
really cool, actually, because you don't have to worry about it.
