Note Submitter: Gecko ---- I also have years of expierience in PHP, ColdFusion, ASP and Java. Each of them has his advantages and disadvantages depending on the project (size, complexity, maintainability, developers involved and so on). To me, the cleanest way, also concerning future maintenance, is to use a system supporting the MVC pattern. It needs a bit more time at the beginning, but it pays off in the long term. My favourite technology so far is using one of the open source Java frameworks (e.g. JPublish or Apache Turbine) with a template engine as the viewer component (e.g. Apache Velocity). I don't like JSP, it was an attempt from SUN to compete with ASP. The developer implements the business logic with Java and the Web designer implements the HTML stuff in the template.
