Will JSP and other Java client technologies disappear?

[Eugenio Flores]

Hello, I'm starting to learn Javafx, and I have noticed that a javafx app can be run in a browser, also as desktop app, so I was wondering if JSP and other Java client technologies will disappear because of Javafx.

Thanks in advance.

JSP is a server-side technology. What other client technologies are you referring to?

[Bear Bibeault]

Do you really think that a niche technology such as JavaFX -- that most people consider DOA in the first place -- is going to have any impact at all on the use of HTML for web applications?

Answer: no measurable impact whatsoever.

And as Tim pointed out, JSP is not a client technology. So what are you really asking about? Applets?

[Eugenio Flores]

Thanks for the answers. What I meant by client thecnologies was Java technologies that are used to build form views, in other words, technologies to build the end user interfaces.

So, the way a I see it, you can build a Javafx app and run it in a browser and in a desktop, so you are able to build a client that can be run in different enviroments. It is like code once, run anywhere.

It is like building a Swing app that can be run in a browser without any changes. That is the beauty of Javafx.

That's what applets let you do back in 1998. It didn't exactly succeed, did it?

[Eugenio Flores]

Well, it did not succed it. So, you don't give Javafx too much future?

[Tim Moores]

Nope. The world is not looking for another desktop technology.

JavaFX is now, and will continue to be, a niche technology. Just like Applets.

That is the beauty of Javafx.

The "beauty" you seem to admire is something only the developers creating the app would appreciate.
