Sun, Zend integrate PHP with Sun’s Web server

“Sun Microsystems Inc. has partnered with Zend Technologies Ltd. in a move to let developers deploy applications written using the PHP scripting language on Sun’s Java Web server, the companies announced Monday.”

” (…) but IT executives at large corporations are often wary of using Apache for critical applications because of concerns about security and support issues (…) “

“Along with Oracle Corp., Macromedia Inc. and others they began work on a Java specification within Sun’s Java Community process to let PHP and other scripting programs run on servers compliant with the J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) standard. “

Que Java, como plataforma é uma maravilha, nós sabemos. Usar outras linguagens (como ColdFusion e agora PHP) para escrever aplicações em Java é que é o barato.

Update: “Sun and Zend are leading the effort, which, if successful, will create a way for developers to write Java applications using popular scripting languages like PHP, ECMAscript and Active Server Pages. “
