100% pure Active Server Pages support: Sun ONE ASP supports the most common and frequently used ASP standards, such as ASP 3.0 and version 5.5 of the VBScript and JScript scripting languages. New or existing ASP applications can be deployed with few or no changes to code. For more information, see ASP Built-in Objects Reference and Scripting Languages Reference.

Database connectivity tools suite: Sun ONE ASP includes support for ADO 2.0, and provides DataDirect Connect 4.1 ODBC drivers for all major databases (UNIX and Linux product versions only). Everything needed to integrate data with an ASP application is provided; drivers do not need to be purchased separately.

Powerful and scalable ASP processing: Sun ONE ASP includes a browser-based Administration Console for the easy management and configuration of the ASP Server engine (UNIX and Linux product versions only). It also provides server monitoring and diagnostic tools for real-time tracking and monitoring of server performance and availability, as well as ASP error logging for quick detection and diagnosis of server errors. For more information, see Using the Administration Console and Managing the ASP Server.
