There's some work going on to let Java and scripting languages act more friendly with each other. For those who are interested, check out JSR-223, Scripting Pages in Java Web Applications.
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=223
This JSR focuses on tight integration between PHP (or other scripting languages) and Java webapps. Zend is an active participant on the expert group and is interested in such integration.
I believe they're building their RI on top of Tomcat.
Cool stuff!

Nice :-)
Did you try it ? I'm curious, could you run a quick helo world benchmark ( helo.jsp / help.php ) ?
The big question is the level of integration - i.e. if you can call java objects from php or use some of the nice PHP features from java.

Good news, tomcat+php it's easy, php allready have support for.
I make a simple try and here's the resulting 'readme' :
++++
Using php in Tomcat5: Easy a servlet is available in php (I have tried with
php-4.3.5)
configure the php with: ./configure --with-servlet=$TOMCAT_HOME --with-java=$JAVA_HOME a jarfile and dynamic library are produced: - sapi/servlet/phpsrvlt.jar - libs/libphp4.so
Copy jarfile and arrange web.xml:
cp $PHP_HOME/sapi/servlet/phpsrvlt.jar $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib
copy the $PHP_HOME/sapi/servlet/web.xml servlet and servlet-mapping in the
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml
Start the Tomcat: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PHP_HOME/libs export LD_LIBRARY_PATH $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start
Try it: Create a file named ./webapps/ROOT/test.php containing: +++ <?php phpinfo(); ?> +++ Call it: http://localhost:8080/test.php
Patch for the configure of php:
--- configure.org 2004-04-07 11:20:24.000000000 +0200 +++ configure 2004-04-07 11:22:50.000000000 +0200 if test "$withval" = "yes"; then SERVLET_CLASSPATH=. else + if test -f $withval/common/lib/servlet-api.jar; then + SERVLET_CLASSPATH=$withval/common/lib/servlet-api.jar + fi + if test -f $withval/lib/servlet.jar; then SERVLET_CLASSPATH=$withval/lib/servlet.jar fi ++++
