I have just shifted to internet programming, now I am confused what to use for my e-comm project. ASP offers everything that a i need to create the whole application.But still I know there is something better in java.
Please tell me which is better and where?

JSP (Java Server Pages) is better than ASP.There has been alot of discussion about the differences between ASP and JSP. For me there are a few important ones. It is platform independent and a standard. So there are several companies that are developing support for it. It is also designed to interface with Java programs ( real ones, not Javascript, not some vb script crap ).
It is also fast.
You will need to get a plug-in for whatever web server you wish to use it in. Some come with it.
JSP is relatively new, there are still a few issues being worked out. You may want to wait a few months before using it in a production environment.

There are third party vendors who support ASP from other web servers like Apache, Netscape, IBM, Sun, etc.an example www.halcyonsoftware.com

Hi.If you are working at the commercial level and your company striclty
focuses only on Microsoft stuff, you had better use ASP.
Otherwise, Java is a better choice.
One is that JDK1.2 applet works only 60% at Netscape and Sun seems
to publish Add-In in order to work its applet 100% at the end of this
year. But we need to care about it. To be sure, Sun do this?
My company uses Server application by both Javascript and Java
application server connected Oracle 8.0 at E-commerce, but this combination is so slow to Microsoft IE. We now need fixing this problem.
HTH.

Ok, I agree that if someone is focused on Microsoft technology and needs an immediate, production level solution, then ASP is probably the way to go.I must admit that I don't quite understand the rest of your post. With my understanding of ASP, it is a scripting technology that generates HTML on the server using stuff like VB script. ASP has nothing to do with applet like functionality.
Once again, JSP (Java Server Pages) are the equivalent Java technology to ASP. JSP is fast and scalable.

Hi.Your idea about ASP is partly right.
But if you use Front Page, you notice that ASP(not true ASP, VB script?) can generate HTML form (front page component)connected database server by ODBC.
This ASP is not the same one of applet, and Front page component
must install IIS Server machine. But VB script is not only server
script and use some client stuff.
Microsoft must enhance the functionality of front page component
on Front Page 2000.
