I've had a play around with Jsp in the past like Dog and Pony I have some Java experience but I'm mainly a Perl head. IMHO I think Perl has to be the winner for it's ease of development. This is really because of two issues:
I'd ignore the whole speed issue for the moment. The design of your system will impact speed more than language choice at this point (I'm thinking of issues like web page caching, persistent database connections, precompiled SQL statements...). As for the pay point.... I have to say that in general Java developers are paid more than Perl developers. But the difference is not that big - have a look on some job web sites sometime and compare salaries for development positions requiring similar experience. I've written a bit more than I intended to (sorry about that) but I've tried to give the best advice I can. I think that Perl would be the way to go (but then you might expect that this being perlmonks and not javamonks). Have a look at this link - it's got a good review on issues of Jsp vs Perl (and other server side langhuages too: PHP etc.) It does not specifically deal with Jsp but it does talk a lot about Servlets (which you would probably call at some point from a Jsp page) and compare preformance issues. And then make you own mind up (go on choose Perl.... you know you want to...).
