JSP support ?

Thanks for the complements Asier!

Do you mean the Javascript version of VBScript ASP? If you can tell us in particular what you'd like to see that isn't in place, we might be able to add it for you. We're currently working on adding more support for other languages as well.

nope, not the Javascript version of VBScript for ASP.

I mean JSP, Java Server Pages. The "Sun response" to Microsoft ASP technology.

In both JSP and ASP, u have specific tags and directives and an object model for HTTP manipulation.

In ASP you have an object model for HTTP manipulation (Application, Session, Request etc. objects) and the scripting language is usually Javascript or VBScript. But can be any scripting language which offers an scripting engine supported by their Web Server IIS.

In JSP you have an object model for HTTP manipulation too (very close to ASP object model, each object with its methods and properties as in ASP) and the language used in JSP pages is Java. The JSP page is not interpreted as it is an ASP page (that's why ASP uses an scripting language and why JSP doesn't). The JSP page is compiled in a Servlet.


I hope my response was not too long and I've answered your questions <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0">

Asier,

Thanks for the explanation. If you can point us to some good references on JSP, we'll see what we can do about adding more support for it in the future.

Howdy !

This might help u <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0">


JSP 1.1 it was released a long time ago. JSP 1.2 is planned to
be released with JDK 1.4. I don't know the release date for JDK 1.4,
is still Beta.

Implicit objects: Application, Session, Request etc.


-------------------
For JSP 1.1 Support
-------------------

For basic JSP support:
- JSP syntax (including imlpicit objects) <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/pdf/card11a.pdf" TARGET=_blank>http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/pdf/card11a.pdf</A>

- Syntax reference guide (implicit objects not included) <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/pdf/syntaxref11.pdf" TARGET=_blank>http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/pdf/syntaxref11.pdf</A>


For advanced (IntelliPrompt) JSP support:
- JSP spec "Final release" (includes implicit object methods and properties) <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html" TARGET=_blank>http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html</A>

----------------------------------------------
For JSP 1.2 support (JSP 1.2 not released yet)
----------------------------------------------

It will be included with JDK 1.4 ("Merlin"). It's not been released
yet and is still in Beta.

I don't think will be any major changes. And changes will affect
implicit objects methods and properties)

For advanced (IntelliPrompt) JSP support:
- JSP spec "proposed final draft" (includes implicit object methods and properties) <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html" TARGET=_blank>http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html</A>
