I actually had a talk with my boss today... We discussed different technologies and why we chose them. The reasons we chose Java/JSP/J2EE etc: 1) Scalability (number 1 reason) 2) Different projects like EJB etc I had been talking about PHP a lot and he says he likes it to but... Jeff What specifically about scalability and Java is he thinking of? I'm not saying at all

that large scaleable sites aren't run under Java. But what does your company need to do that Java can that PHP can't? There may be some issues, but there may not. Scaleability costs money. Yes, perhaps Java can scale. If I had a six figure budget, PHP would 'scale' too - more hardware. But how much are people willing to spend?
