[GR-Jug] [J2EE or PHP]

[Carlus Henry]

Well, here it is.  The age old question when is it appropriate to use Java
and J2EE vs. PHP, Ruby, Python, or some other interpreted language?

Being the vetran developer that I am (tongue in cheeck comment), I am
wondering if it makes more sense to use one of the lighter languages for
some of the problems that J2EE has been known to solve.  There are some
incredible time, cost, effort savings that come with a simpler technology.

So let's begin...

1.)  When is it more appropriate to use Java vs PHP?
2.)  What projects have you chosen to use Java instead of PHP? PHP instead
of Java?
3.)  What were the determining factors that helped you with your decision?

Please fill in PHP with your flavor of language (Ruby, Python,
Perl....whatever have you).
