URGENT---- running javasscript on server side

[Prince Manchanda]

I am using IBM Websphere App server 3,5 advanced edition and IBM Http server.
I want to run the javascript code on the server side to use the jsp objects like request,response,session. But i am not able to do so. I have tried the following 2 options.
<script language ="javascript" runat="server">....</script>
<server>...</server>
CAN ANYONE HELP

manchandap,
I hope someone can answer your question. Myself I have never used javascript on the server side.
I hate to say this but, your name does not comply with the Javaranch naming guidelines which can be found at http://www.javaranch.com/name.jsp
In particular you need both a first and last name.
please register again with a valid name.

If what you are looking for is the ability to execute code on the server then you should probably look at Servlet/JSPs or some other mechanism for generating server side code (CGI, PERL, J2EE application servers, ASP, TCL, JHTML etc etc).
If it is really Javascript that you want to execute, I think a previous version of the BroadVision Application server once had a Javascript engine in the back end, but as to where they got it from I can't remember. It was slow as a dog anyways.
Help much?

To access the request and response parameters you need to be running a servlet or a JSP.
The JSP spec does actually allow for JSPs to be programmed in any language, even though most implementations only support JSPs in Java. I know that the Resin web server from http://www.resin.com/ supports JSPs written in JavaScript, but you will need to check your documentation to see if your server supports this.

Which Web servers support server side javascript.

I know that micro$ofts active server pages can be doen in their vb script or in their version of javascript - they call it jscript. Is that what your thinking of?

thanks for the reply.
i know that microsoft ASP and IIS allow this. But I have to do that in IBM websphere/http--java/jsp environment.
