Sun Java System ASP 4.0 - Active Server Pages

ASP is Microsoft's answer to server-side scripting, and Sun Java System's ASP technology is an exact functional equivalent to Microsoft's ASP service, for Linux servers. The technology enables developers to dynamically generate Active Server Web pages and use a variety of development tools like Frontpage, Dreamweaver and GoLive, as well as a range of scripting languages such as Visual Basic, JScript, C++, PowerBuilder and Java, to create dynamic web pages and build Web applications.

Sun Java System ASP 4.0 allows the applications generated by popular design tools and Microsoft Windows developers to be deployed on our superior Linux-based server environment. This removes the dependency of .asp on Microsoft Windows servers.

ColdFusion

ColdFusion has been growing in popularity since its inception in 1995 when it was introduced by the Allaire Corporation (which is now owned by Macromedia). Today, it is used by more than half of the Fortune 500 companies. It's popularity comes from its ease of use and extensive capabilities, including working with databases; interacting with the Internet through FTP, e-mail, and HTTP; and much more.

Quick Notes about ColdFusion:

• ColdFusion and ASP cannot be enabled for the same account.
• ColdFusion can work with any ODBC compliant database as long as it has been converted into the MySQL environment.
