Ant: [Php-java-bridge-users] Hybrid JSP/PHP App

Yes, of course. The "servlet engine behind a HTTP
server" is the only option available for an internet
server.

When the backend is running in a servlet engine or
application server, all pages are generated by the
servlet engine or application server. PHP is only used
to generate the content within the page.

For example if you set 

  java.servlet="/myctx/MyServlet" 

and you ask the server for a session handle via:

  $handle=java_get_session();

the server will generate an empty page with a random
cookie (with the path "/myctx") and ask php to
generate the content. The result will be returned to
the client.

The "php as a cgi sub-component" works similar.

The servlet context is there, but you cannot access it
at the moment (it is private).  Currently you can only
access the session store.

Why do you need to access the servlet context?
