RE: Active Server Pages

Andrew,

There are lots of good reasons to use JSPs, but since you've asked for the
reasons NOT to:

10) Don't want to put my 400 directly on the net
9) Have a staff that knows ASP but not JSP
8) No support for COM/DCOM on JSP on AS/400 (and I have COM/DCOM objects I
need to use)
7) Have non-AS/400 data I need to access and can do so MUCH easier from NT
6) Have non-AS/400 data that I simply can't access from AS/400 (Exchange
Server)
5) Rest of corporate intra/extra/internet deployed on IIS, why use both?
4) Reliability - I know the 400 is more stable than NT, but is it more
stable than 5 NT servers?
3) Easy to find hosting locations that support ASP
2) Hard to find hosting locations that support AS/400s

-and the number one reason to use ASP over JSP on the AS/400:
1) Bill simply isn't rich enough yet!

Why not use JSP's directly on the AS/400?
It's the fastest Java engine on the planet (as long as you have an 840 12
way!)
JSP=ASP in Java.

You can use Homesite to develop this too!
