外文文献JavaServer Pages[tm] Technology - Comparison with ASPWhile JavaServer Pages technology and Microsoft Active Server Pages are similar in many ways， there are also a number of differences that exist. And these differences are just as significant as the similarities ， and have far-reaching implications for the developers who use them as well as the organizations that adopt them as part of their overall Web-based architecture.JSP Technology: An Open Approach In many ways， the biggest difference between JSP and ASP technologies lies in the approach to the software design itself. JSP technology is designed to be both platform and server independent ， created with input from a broader community of tool ， server ， and database vendors. In contrast ， ASP is a Microsoft technology that relies primarily on Microsoft technologies. Platform and Server Independence JSP technology adheres to the Write Once， Run AnywhereTM philosophy of the JavaTM architecture. Instead of being tied to a single platform or vendor ， JSP technology can run on any Web server and is supported by a wide variety of tools from multiple vendors. Because it uses ActiveX controls for its components ， ASP technology is basically restricted to Microsoft Windows-based platforms. Offered primarily as a feature of Microsoft IIS， ASP technology does not work easily on a broader range of Web servers because ActiveX objects are platform specific. Although ASP technology is available on other platforms through third-party porting products ， to access components and interact with other services ， the ActiveX objects must be present on the selected platform. If not present， a bridge to a platform supporting them is required. Open ...
