Palava is a communication protocol to build Web
applications using PHP and Java. It allows you to
build modern 3-tier architectures, where PHP runs
on the frontend servers and Java runs on the
backend. It consists of a Java backend server to
handle the communication, providing a component
deployment mechanism, and a PHP library to access
backend jobs from the frontend(s). Palava makes it
easy to reuse existing Java business logic in
easily created, modern PHP frontends. Palava is
not a full blown Web site framework, but instead
encourages the use of existing frameworks like
CodeIgniter.
