Question to experienced java developers

[Marty U.]

This question may seem weird, and yes I am looking for a biased
response. I am a C# ASP.Net developer but I am looking to become more
experienced in Java. I did not post this on the java.help group because
I want the response of experienced java developers.

As a Java developer what do you feel is better in Java (Web Focus) then
C# ASP.Net. I know C# so I am wanting to see the view from someone who
can hold a good argument if they were provoked in discussion. I have had
great success with this approach in the past to help me determine if my
time is worth the change to a new language and set of technologies.

Thanks
Marty U.

You might try comp.lang.java.advocacy the folks over there love
that kind of thing and it's the courteous place for such discussions.

Well, currently it's dead except for the occasional off-topic
political post from our resident troll.

To the OP: Since Java is "multi-vendor" you have a great choice in
frameworks et al for web development: Jakarta Struts, Spring, Java
Server Faces, etc.
