Re: Is ASP.net or Struts frame work ?

Hi Aby;

Both solutions performs well - so you have to focus on the scalability.

Since you a posting in this forum I assume that data is placed on the System 
I.

ASP.NET.
-----------
When you use the ASP.NET approach you will need a windows based internet 
server front-end powered by the IIS. from here you will do SQL connections 
with ADO or ODBC (or webservices) if you want to be online with your data.

The ASP.NET applications performs super. Now Microsoft is compiling ASP into 
asmx files. This gives really a boost compared to the previous .ASP 
applications..

So at the end of the day - it is the database connections that is the 
bottleneck and most unstable part of the solution, and the size of the 
PC-server you want to run it on.

STRUTS
----------
STRUTS however, is running directly within the System I, so you don't have 
to worry about the database connection - that is JDBC or (in some cases 
calls via JNI to the native programs).

STRUTS is producing JSP pages which (by default) is not compiled objects 
(causing a litle performance degradation - but my guess is that you can live 
with that). The real performance considerations is how well WebSphere and 
JAVA is performing on the System. If you have unlimited RAM resources then 
this is the most powerful solution.

IBM is btw. using STRUTS in the WebFacing product....

And finally (a word from our sponsors :-) you might take a look at a product 
called IceBreak - It combines the best from the two worlds.

It is a native application server running on the System I. It use ASP as 
syntax - so you use Microsoft Web development studio with RPG or COBOL as 
language. It compiles the .ASP into native OS/400 programs and can run on 
even the smallest AS/400 R5V1 with a superb performance. You can play with 
it on http://www.icebreak.us
