WIASP vs WIJSP version differences?

Hi all,

Just curious, does anyone know what the functionality/feature differences are between the WIASP and WIJSP versions of WebI 6.1b are?

So far I’m aware of these:

  1. Supervisor SDK is only in JSP version
  2. Interactive mode (HTML query panel) is only in JSP version

Any others?

Thx!
Chris

I’ve found that ASP in general is slightly flakier - but maybe that is just to do with the sites that it’s used at…

Aside from the two you’ve mention, the RESDK doesn’t exist in ASP - you can’t create new documents through the ASP SDK hence why the HTML query panel isn’t available in WIASP.

Cheers,

Flaky meaning in the java report panel when you click on something, wait, and click again if it didn’t take.
You don’t have this “feature” in JSP HTML?

I have no empirical evidence to support this, but I do have a feeling. This only applies to the sites where I have worked. (Could be my fault.)

The sites seem to have had the most stability issues are those running ASP. I have big concerns that some of this may be simple flakiness in IIS. The Apache/Tomcat (especially in 6.1) combination has been great!

Totally agree Steve. Most issues crop up in ASP - opendoc not working properly, random page not displayed errors…

Any site using JSP only seems to have had problems related to their database or other non BO things. Now I’ve said that of course I’ve doomed them all to instability…

Although that said, 6.1b has been a bit of a shining light so far for ASP in my experience.

Maybe this is really basic…but I don’t get it.

There are obvious differences in running asp or jsp.

IIS Install – you get the java report panel
JSP Install – you get the html or html interactive panel

Why should you choose one over the other? What are the differences?

Also, you can only use the Supervisor SDK in the JSP version. Not sure if that’s still true in 6.5 though. Avoid ASP if you can.

In 6.5 you have the option of Supervisor over the web with JSP. Auditor (GUI) only works with JSP also.

ASP is easy to set up. Why would you not set up JSP?
