Rather than this turn into big ideological argument, I'd just like to suggest to the OP that the Java world might be bigger than he'd appreciated - and that it's more meaningful to use the right tool for the job in hand.
Tomcat & PHP are not really a good pairing, as has been previously stated. As far as dynamic scripting languages go, Tomcat is better paired with something like Groovy.
I think the OP being a little naive to suggest to this list that it's members aren't aware of other languages and their respective uses or sector popularity.
I meant to ask "by what type of unit are you measuring 'bigger'?", as it's a pretty vague term to use. Counting lots of 'small' websites* would be one way, but you could count by, say, Open Source project commits:
http://www.ohloh.net/languages;compare?l4=php&l1=-1&l5=ruby&l2=java&l6=-1&commit=Update&l0=cncpp&l3=-1And then you might think that 'the PHP world' is a lot smaller than Java or C/C++ and that Tomcat should be expanded to run scripts in C/C++**
p * Yes, big ones too ** Yes, CGI, I know
For example, My products are in Java! But my business website is in PHP!I see my ISP a;one having customers in thousands who might be using PHP, no Java support. It's the same for most small websites, because they cannot hire expensive Java programmers!regards.
