Greetings Henti,
While I personally prefer working I PHP after having just finished leading a
team of developers on a large JSP project, I would advise you to use the
technologies that your client is most comfortable with. Especially if they
understand that it will cost more and are willing to pay the extra.
It is my experience that while JSP is more powerful, you pay for that power
in development time. Since the Java API is so broad, you sometimes have to
hunt around for a while to find the right commands to do the job. PHP will
do 75% of the job, do it fast enough to please most clients and developers
can usually do it quicker in PHP.
Does your client have overriding technical concerns about PHP?
Do they have specific reasons why they are insisting on Java? (technical or
otherwise?)
I worked a job once where we had to deploy Solaris on Sun HW just because it
was in the medical industry and the client did not feel that Linux would be
accepted. It did not matter that it would eventually cost the client over 1
million on HW just to do the job. (We could have distributed a lot of low
cost Linux boxes, done the same job for about 1/3 of that)
Bottom line is some people just don' get it. If you want the contract then I
would go JSP. If you don't want' it/need it, walk away.

Subject: [PHP] PHP vs JSP
Hi all
I'm busy working on a contract .. and we need to do some web based stuff ..
but the client is intent on using jsp and not PHP.
Is there somewhere where I can get good comparists between the two pro and
cons etc etc ..
I would much rather use PHP then JSP for the development
Thanks
Henti Smith
