Is it "OK" to add JSP/Tomcat support to an existing LAMP web server?

Is it possible to add JSP/Tomcat support to an existing LAMP web server? I never tried to do this before and was wondering if this was ok to do in a production environment or if it went against best practices.

I have a Debian webserver with a LAMP stack running Apache2. I have a few PHP websites but I would like to add a Java/JSP powered website like so:

/var/www/myphpsite
/var/www/myjspsite
/var/www/etc etc.

Thanks, Jason

Yes it's very OK. I do it all the time on high traffic sites where some components are PHP and others are Java based.

Make sure you also setup mod_status so you can monitor what the apache workers are working on.

There shouldn't be any inherent problems as long as you have the CPU and memory for it. The Tomcat instances would be running in a separate process from Apache HTTP server.

Just connected apache to Tomcat with mod_jk or mod_proxy_ajp.
