Abstract

The Java platform is now a very good foundation for executing scripting 
applications (javascript, jruby, php, ...). GlassFish V3 for example is focused 
on being the best server side scripting environment built on top of the JVM.
But moving from native servers to a JVM base complete environment might not 
always be possible.

This talk will discuss about the other aspect of bridging scripting environments 
with the Java platform. Let's assume that your server side is not based on Java 
(for ex apache with native php or ruby): what are your choices if you want to 
call services in the jvm? In these native envs, a Java service is seen as a 
"legacy" call.

Some technical solutions (PHP java bridge for example, Web Services) will be 
presented.
