Integrating MySQL + Webserver + PHP in Java Application

Question

What's the best way to integrate a MySQL Database (no SQLite) and a Webserver like Apache with PHP functionality into a Java Desktop Application? I need to be able to access the Database from Java and the webserver via a webbrowser, PHP is querying the same MYSQL Database as Java. I thought of somehow packaging XAMPP in the Application Installer and then call the specific start batch files from Java but that seems to be kind of a hackish way to me. How is something like this typically done?

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

Replace Apache with Jetty which is an embeddable web server built with java. Jetty can serve php pages if it's linked to the php executable. MySQL is not a great option for this at all - if you need a portable high powered solution use MongoDB which you can simply package and run alongside your application.

It's a bit strange idea. However could be a solution if you construct an installer solution. For example: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/java.html
