Only if you access it through the servlet. Just direct
your browser to port 8080 or set up mod_jk to forward
everything to Tomcat.

Well it's quite simple. If you call 

 http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/sessionSharing.jsp

tomcat creates a servlet from the JSP file and i
nvokes it. For PHP requests this is similar:

 http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/sessionSharing.php

invokes a servlet which creates the HTML pages and
then delegates to PHP to fill in the content.

If you call

 http://localhost/sessionSharing.php

then Apache (or IIS) renders and returns the HTML
page.
Tomcat doesn't even see this request.

This shouldn't be a problem. Just replace the JSP
logic with PHP and you're done.
