Talk:Jakarta EE Programming/Jakarta Server Pages Syntax

Which came first, JSP or ASP?
The statement "JSP is Java's answer to ASP and PHP" implies that JSP came after ASP. Is this the case? I thought JSP was around first, and ASP was Microsoft's answer to it (and PHP, etc).

 * I'm too young to know that but according several persons around me, ASP has been created after CGI and before JSP and PHP. Do not confuse with ASP .Net . Ftiercel (talk) 09:35, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

According to their respective Wikipedia pages, PHP came out in 1995 (though it may not have been until the 3.0 release in 1998 that the HTML templating had its modern form), ASP came out in 1998, and JSP 1.0 came out in 1999. So it appears that JSP definitely came after the others. 157.166.175.129 (talk) 16:03, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Copied from website
Section JSP Technology in the Java EE 5 Platform is copied nearly 1:1 from SUNs homepage. Other sections could be copied, too. Skrio (talk) 06:45, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

jsp:plugin confusing
The last sentence in the jsp:plugin example section was confusing, and seemed to contradict all preceding text in the page. I've moved it here, along with some editorial comment added by a user:


 * However, each of those jsp:param tags can have a dynamic name and a dynamic value ??? REALLY ??? If the parameter name may be dynamic, provide a code example, otherwise I believe it must be a hard-coded literal string (which makes it brittle as compared to being able to use a Java constant supplied by some interface definition).

If anyone wants to take a stab at fixing it, there you have it. &mdash; Fr&epsilon;ckl&epsilon;fσσt | Talk 15:39, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
