dear i want to ask that is there any difference between asp and jsp.It seems similar to me except the name.what do u think...and also tell me which is better if at all they are different?
Asp is server side script, script processed at server and transferred to the client (browser), while jsp is client side script where script is running at the browser. you can right click at a web page ended with .jsp and see the script inside it. In .asp page, you will not see the script.
asp is active server pages from Microsoft and jsp is Java server pages from SUN, that is to different languges are.you can use primerly VBScript in the asp , you can also use javascript. but jsp that's only java and jsp have special compiler to make binary file.
server side web programming languages are both different. to learn and write asp is simple , There are more resources and hosting providers(IIS).
you see....if you don't know the answer you probably should give all the wrong answers. You are confusing other people too. Both asp and jsp are server side languages. ASP is from microsoft and JSP is from SUN (Java). They are very similar in capabilities (as in both old and used less and less often). They were both replaced by newer technologies that are way better ASP.NET and JSF
so i can safely say that 1. asp stands for Active server pages and jsp stands for java server pages 2. In asp processing is done at server side and in jsp processing is doen at clients side. 3. asp is from Microsoft and jsp from sun 4. asp has been replaced by asp.net and jsp is being replaced by JSF so these are the only differnces or there can be something else
thanks for your correction but then there is no difference between them except names or companies me still confused
and they use a different syntax, or different language. ASP with VBScript would probably be more suitable for a beginner.
JSP and ASP do have some basic concepts in common. They both make use of simple sever-side scripting to provide access to Web server information and functionality. They both do so using object oriented scripting. And they both started out with similar styles of delimiting this scripting from a page's content. In fact, Microsoft is replacing ASP with ASP+, which is even more like JSP than ASP in that its pages are compiled upon request and run in a 'virtual machine' (which supports multiple languages and is written in C#). Yet while ASP primarily supports two scripting languages -- JScript and VBScript -- JSP actually supports real Java code, not a new scripting language. The difference is that the Java code inside a JSP page is more script-like because it doesn't require Java class and package definitions. As you will see, the Java code inside JSP is added to methods of a Java Servlet that are generated the first time the JSP is requested. Of course, JScript, VBScript, and Java are all object oriented to some degree, or maybe to avoid getting into a political argument with those of you would dispute this claim I should refer to them as 'Quasi-Object-Oriented.' Whatever we choose to call them, we can at least agree that the scripting languages used by JSP and ASP are all provided with a set of pre-established objects by the Web server that they use to generate a dynamic Web page.
if you are new on web scripting and don't know about java programming, php or asp should be a good start. i am using asp and you can easily learn it, but php is easier on many ways. (you can see this argument on almost every forum : which one ? asp or php ? this is up to you.)
