Using J2EE and PHP together

An anonymous reader writes "There's an article in the May issue of the WebSphere Developer Technical Journal at IBM's developerWorks site on Pairing PHP with Java to meet the needs of a familiar web application scenario. The example consists of a Struts application deployed on WebSphere Application Server, which serves as the private content management tool, and a PHP 5 site to display that data to the public. Both parts of the application share a single Apache and DB2 instance."

"Java isn't interpreted."

sorry, call it just-in-time compilation if you like, but no matter how you look at it, it's still a language (bytecodes) being translated to another language ( native ASM ) in execution-time ( execution of the JVM, that is ). That's interpretation for me, not compilation.

"In any case, what do you propose be used for web applications?"

How about Ocaml, Python, Scheme, Haskell or Ruby? Powerful, modular, flexible and concise languages for a powerful, modular and flexible environment like the web...

or perhaps just wait for Links...
