As far as I understood your scenario the one and only call between your php code and java code is some kind of request (maybe via soap?). So the php code does not become part of the java servlet and the java servlet does not know anything of the php code. You can use ear for the java artifact. The java servlet/war file was only one scenario. If you are using maven ear plugin or maven war plugin is not influencing the php artifact. The php frontend will perform a soap request to a soap server. The soap server is realized by java code. Maybe you are not using soap but some other protocol. Am I right?
And yes: You should not mix up php code and java code into the same artifact as long as you do not have a direct dependency. There may be situations where you may have a direct dependency. There are several php-java bridges around that allow you to call java classes and instantiate java objects directly within your php code. Even in this case you should have a separate artifact. My suggestion is a "three-artifact-scneario". 1) the backend is tested without knowing anything of the frontend (you may use maven-ear-plugin or any other java setup) 2) the frontend is a php project. For testing the backend is mocked. 3) A third artifact is used to tie frontend and backend together. It contains information how to download/extract/setup the frontend and the backend. And it contains some test cases to ensure the frontend is working with a non-mocked backend.
