Running JSP on IIS

[HappyGoLucky]

Hello,

I want to learn JSP. Currently I am running PHP scripts on IIS with Windows XP.
Question : Will JSP run on IIS ? I have not tried it yet, but would like to know???

Also, if you had to bet your life on a better product, would you choose ASP.NET or ASP over JSP ?

My company wants to decide which direction to take. Basically we have a fork in the road. To the left is Microsoft. To the Right is Sun/Java.

Thank you for the help

I think you can run JSP's with IIS, but you have to configure it to work with Tomcat, see the below link:

As far as your second question, although they have the same name, ASP and ASP.NET are quite different. ASP.NET is still a new technology, so it is still evolving quite a bit, but as Microsoft has proven in the past, most of their ideas and marketing ploys end up being what we all use, so I think you would be safe moving to ASP.NET now. Now as far as JSP and ASP, a lot of people will disagree with me on this, but I think they're basically identical in performance. They both do server side scripting and support component development. Anyways, hope this helps.
