Is it OK to have half of your site coded in .jsp and half coded in ASP.net?

By "OK" do you mean "is it morally wrong?". No, it has no moral merit. But it's going to be difficult to do "state management", and getting an integrated look-and-feel will be a challenge. ASP.Net has a distinctive way of managing state with the browser: i.e. where data is kept for postbacks, how that data is handled, etc. So for instance, if a user logs in to your ASP.Net page, and then navigates to a JSP page, the latter is not going to have any idea about their ASP.Net identity unless you manually write some code to propagate it (in a cookie or something). That kind of manual handshaking is bug-prone and tedious to maintain. So it's not recommended, but it may be an ok compromise in situations where you already have a lot of JSP code laying around that you can't afford to toss out.

The two key issues are: 1. Does your choice of technology affect your visitors and their experience when using your site? 2. How does it affect the maintainability of your site?
