Aspects of Java and PHP Web development

Compare PHP and JSP both Web development technologies, in the current situation is in fact more PHP and Java Web development. The following is my main aspects:

   1, the language comparison

PHP is an interpreted scripting language for the server, first of all php have simple easy characteristics. Syntax and the c language comparison like, so learn c programmers can quickly become familiar with PHP's development. And java need to learn java syntax and be familiar with some of the core class libraries, object-oriented programming methods. So rather than php to learn java.
First compiled into Java bytecode .class file, and then in the Java virtual machine interpretation. Java Web development is easiest to think of first is JSP (now to JSP2.0), the original java Web development is achieved with a servlet and servlet used to develop need programmers in Java source files in the HTML code for embedding a lot. It later appeared JSP, JSP can be easily embedded into html files, jsp files are actually executed on the server when the application server will first be converted to a servlet, then compile. Servlet and Jsp can support strong JavaBean. JavaBean is a reusable, cross-platform software components. Using javabean can facilitate the implementation of the java code and separation of html, can improve system functionality and software reusability.
Java Web development is part of Sun's J2EE which defined specifications. And include in the J2EE Java Web development in all its aspects, such as JSP, Servlet, JDBC, JNDI, JAVABEAN, EJB, etc. J2EE is particularly suitable for large-scale enterprise applications.

   2. comparison of database access

Java via JDBC to access the database through different database vendors provide a database-driven, easy access to the database. Access a comparative consolidated database interface.
PHP for different databases use different database access interface, database access code of commonality is not strong. For example: Java Web application from MySQL database to Oracle database only need minor modifications. And PHP you need to do a lot of modifications.

   3. system design schema compare

Use Java Web development technology, you need to use the object-oriented design methodology, and PHP or process-oriented development methodologies. So the early Java developers need to do a lot of system analysis and design work.

   4, cross-platform

Java and PHP has a very good cross-platform features. Almost everything you can not make any modifications to run on Linux or Windows, and so on different operating systems.

   5. development cost comparison

The most classic combinations of PHP is PHP + MySQL + Apache. Very suitable for the development of small and medium-sized Web applications exploitation of faster. And all the software is open source free, can reduce inputs.
Java Web application server with Tomcat, JBoss, etc. free of charge, if you need better commercialization services are: Web Sphere and the Web logic.
