Post from PHP page to Java program and output result

Question

I have a PHP page on one server, which asks for some login details from a user.

I then have a Java application on another server.

I am trying to POST the results from the login form to the Java application, then respond with a yes/no as to whether the details were correct.

Whats the simplest way of going about this? I have read plenty on using sockets to post from Java, not I can't seem to find a good tutorial that explains how to post from a form, process it and return the results pack to the user.

send to server post, server responds json?

The best way is to use web services. Implement a web service on Java application and call him from another application.

Best Regards.

Change the form that posts to PHP to post to your Java application. If that workaround is acceptable in your situation. Definitely simpler than implementing web services - but otherwise I am afraid you will have to go for WS if you just can't change the url of the form's action

I can change the URL of the forms action. How would I read in the post in Java, using sockets? How would the form receive the output from the Java app?
