Hi,

Which programming language is best for server side programmation
under IIS4? For the moment we are using ASP with Visual Basic script
for IIS4 server side applications.(mostly database applications)

But now there is also the possibility to use other languages such as
Java on the IIS4 server. Java claims to be portable to other systems.
Is this true in real world conditions?

What do I need to install on a IIS4 server in order to run server side
Java applets or Javascript? JRE or JDK or something else?

Pro & contra for using Java on the server side under IIS4 via ASP+Visual
Basic script?

Thanks,
Christian
