Summary:  PHP has been a popular scripting language for some time. However, with the growing buzz over Java™ technology and Apache Geronimo, a J2EE-certified application server, many experienced developers shy away from using PHP with Geronimo, because only JavaServer Pages (JSP) is supported out of the box. The PHP Java Bridge solves this problem by providing full support for PHP on Geronimo and for sharing sessions across both PHP and JSP scripts.

Summary

Congratulations, you now have PHP working on Apache Geronimo! And you even have PHP and JSP working together through session sharing. You've developed an IQ application that stores answers in session variables that the JSP script can then access to calculate an IQ score -- all on Apache Geronimo through the Tomcat J2EE container. Now that you have the PHP application running within Geronimo, learn more by exploring options and things you can do with the PHP Java Bridge by taking a look at the Resources section. Also, explore the other built-in examples in the JavaBridge.war file and in the examples that come with the PHP Java Bridge binary for your distribution.
