[ale] PHP vs. J2EE

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (Chris Fowler)]

I'm looking at solving a simple problem with a simple solution.  Problem
is that I'm not sure of what language to use.  The only benefti of J2EE
is that I can have back end agents in Java collecting data.  Then the
web app can communicate with the agents to get that data.  I see PHP as
a way to insert dynamic code into a static web page that executes when
the server loads the web page.  Is this the correct view of each.

I really want an agent collecting data and the web interface collecting
info from the agent.  the agent will communicate with 100 devices.  I do
not want the PHP to have to communicate with 100 devices when a user
hits the refresh button.  What are my options?
