I think the JavaBridge.war (the j2ee binary download)
file is a good example. You rename it to, say
"mybridge.war" and copy it to the autodeploy folder of
the servlet engine or application server. After that
you can visit:

  http://localhost:8080/mybridge

and run the php examples. The fact that the bridge
uses a servlet engine as its execution environment is
an "accident", an implementation detail; php and java
have to communicate using a "continuation passing
style", php calls the servlet engine and the servlet
engine in turn calls the php (fast-) cgi api. If you
restrict your servlet engine to listen only on the
local (127.0.0.1) interface, you can hide this
implementation detail to your users.

I think the java-server-faces example shows this.  

When you click on the helloWorld.jsf link, the JSF
application tries to invoke the external php script
@80:/helloWorld.php, see the faces-config.xml. If that
fails, it tries again, using the local script
/helloWorld.php from the .war file.

What the JSF example doesn't show is that the bridge
can even hold the external script instance hostage,
i.e. you can invoke functions or methods and examine
properties. In combination with php5 reflection this
could be used to implement auto completion, for
example.
