Re: Multiple serverside processes - Java PHP?

I currently have two successful serverside processes that need to be
married together. One is a servlet that performs complex calculations.
Another is a PHP script that distills user input into an xml formatted
email attachment and sends.

Is it possible to link these two in some way without rewriting one in
the other language? I need one user submit to trigger it all.

Rewriting the calculation stuff in PHP would not be possible. Far too
complex. I could move the email xml attachment functionality into the
servlet. I'd have to rewrite using javamail.

Amazing how much more code the javamail version would be and apparently
the javamail attachment thing might not be reliable across all mail
clients (been seeing threads claiming dropped or corrupted attachments
in some clients, http://tinyurl.com/y72phk).

Any other options?

Thanks in advance.
