  <p>I'm currently writing a web service which needs to handle events in real time.
  So I thought it would be a nice approach to write a java program which runs in the background and handles all the events.</p>
  
  <p>So the frontend of the web application is written in PHP. The user creates a new event and what I want is, that that PHP script notifies the running java process about that event. Is this possible?</p>
