OK, I'll probably start a major scandal here, but...
Practially everywhere I look on the web, I see Cold Fusion and ASP pages. Rarely any
JSP or
Servlets.
Now I'm a
Java programmer just like yourself (though relatively new to Java), and I'm hard-pressed for an answer: Why would a manager implement a web application in Java when a platform like CF has a quicker development cycle? (Does anyone dispute this?)
I understand that CF does not handle EJB-style transactions. I also understand the portability/multiplatform advantage of Java.
For example, would there be any advantage to using Java over CF for a small to medium sized database access/entry program?
Thanks all.
