This thesis explores the concept of Web Database Development using Active Server Pages (ASP) and Java Server Pages (JSP). These are among the leading technologies in the web database development. The focus of this thesis was to analyze and compare the ASP and JSP technologies, exposing their capabilities, limitations, and differences between them. Specifically, issues related to back-end connectivity using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), application architecture, performance, and web security were examined. For demonstration purposes, two applications were developed, one with ASP and another with JSP. The user interface and the functionality of these two applications were identical, while the architecture, performance, and back-end connectivity was totally different.
