Microsoft® Active Server Pages (ASP)
-
Active Server Pages or ASP, allow a developer to create interactive sites by embedding VBscript or Javascript within
their web pages. This script can be forced to execute on the client's browser or on the web server itself, allowing web pages
to be built dynamically, depending on the clients' requirements.
ASP, like Cold Fusion and Java Servlets, allow the web page to access database servers and server-side file systems.
An ASP script that selected the service details from a database table and presented them within an html table would look something like:
<html>
If (Not rsGarage.EOF) AND (Not rsGarage.BOF) Then
<tr><% for i=0 to rsGarage.Fields.Count-1 %>

<%
if (Request.querystring("Funcn") == "Service") then
set cnn = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")
cnn.Open "DatabaseDSN", "UserName", "Password"
sql = "Select Garage, ServiceDate, Cost, ServiceID "
sql = sql & "From Service "
sql = sql & "Where ServiceID = "
sql = sql & Request.querystring("ServiceID")
sql = sql & " Order By ServiceDate"

Cold Fusion
-
Cold Fusion by Allaire Corp. allows you to create database connected
and dynamic web applications with a series of simple HTML extensions.
The server-side Cold Fusion Markup Language (CFML) provides a flexible environment for rapid application development. CFML is based on tags, so it seamlessly integrates with HTML.
CFML tags encapsulate complex server processes like database
interaction or sending
For Example, a Cold Fusion script that selected the service details from a database table and presented them within an html table would look something like:
<html>
<table border=1>
We have implemented a couple of Cold Fusion based systems, including systems for:
<cfif (IsDefined("Form.funcn"))>
<cfif trim(#Form.funcn#) IS "service">
<cfquery name="SelectService"
DataSource="#variables.dbname#">
Select Garage, ServiceDate, Cost, ServiceID
From Service
Where ServiceID = #Form.ServiceID#
Order By ServiceDate
</cfquery>
<CFLOOP QUERY="SelectService">
<tr bgcolor="#ffffdd">
<td><cfoutput>
<a href="ServiceDetail.cfm?id="#ServiceID#">#Garage#</a>
</cfoutput></td>
<td><cfoutput>#ServiceDate#</cfoutput></font></td>
<td<cfoutput>#Cost#</cfoutput></td>
</tr>
</CFLOOP>
</table>
</cfif>
</cfif>

Server-side Java applications or servlets can be used to create a mission-critial backend to your interactive sites,
Java has helped to hasten the commercialization of the Web, as businesses which seek
competitive advantage have led the development of innovative Java applications. Java moves the Internet
closer to the network ideals of "just in time" and "just enough", allowing businesses to provide customers with more
of what they need online without additional overhead in processing and memory requirements.
A JavaBean, or Bean, is a reusable software component written in Java. Beans are designed to be
visually manipulated in builder tools. If you have used Delphi or Visual Basic, then you are already
familiar with software components. The idea is the same; the programming language is different.
Characteristic Bean features are:
Java
Java, developed initially by James
Gosling of Sun Microsystems, is a programming language being used to create client-side software applications, or applets,
which can be downloaded with HTML pages over networks and run on client machines. Java code is secure,
versatile, compact, and platform independent, making it ideal for use on the WWW.
