Change ASP to Java technology?

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I need help on how to propose a new website. I don’t know how to start and I hope you can guide me( if it is better to make an applet , a servlet, use other technology, etc. ) .

I have a website in ASP, it reads text files that are on the server in the same directory as the web . There are n files (may be about 300 plain text files generated by an external application ) . The website only read them, generates a menu with the data they contain . Depending on the selected menu options , read a specific files and pass this information to Flash movies which generate statistical graphs.

Flash movies are very old and actually cause problems in browsers. They can’t be loaded on all platforms for example. And the ASP technology is also obsolete.

We want to change the technology and create a web that reads a series of text files hosted on the server and pass these parameters to a graphic (we would use javascript libraries, for example Morris). We are interested for JAVA. What you recommend?. if its JAVA , this can be done with Applets ? or Should we use servlets?? or Is there an easier way to do it?
