Instant ASP (iASP) from Halcyon Software
Halcyon Software's Instant ASP (iASP) is another alternative. Their implementation is less mature than Chili!Soft's, but runs on a very wide range of platforms.
iASP was developed in Java™ as a Java servlet. As such, Halcyon claims, you will be able to use it on most web servers that implement Java runtimes. See Table 3.2 for the advertised list of web servers. Furthermore, Halcyon claims that it will provide developers with the capability to use not only ActiveX (including Active Data Objects), but also Enterprise JavaBeans or CORBA-compliant objects. Finally, iASP will also support JavaServer Pages and remote debugging.
Halcyon's iASP runs on a very wide range of servers, as mentioned above. As such, it is more important to know whether your platform choice has been tested by Halcyon. As this testing is still going on, please refer to Halcyon's documentation for the latest test results. For now, refer to the following URL for an extensive table listing supported platforms:
