I have a java project. I want to create an interface so that when people enter some text in a form and submit it, that text is passed to test.java(a file in the java project) and an operation is performed on it to which a response is given which is either 1 or 0.
Basically I have to pass the value of php variable to java project. I'm a total beginner. I googled and read something about RESTful API but couldn't make much sense out of it. It would be great if I get some help.

Have you considered using JSP instead of PHP? JSP pages (which contain you HTML code) can interact directly with a JAVA backend, also called Servlets.

Does that mean running servlets with PHP brings along problems or requires hefty coding?

I am not a PHP pro, but I think mixing PHP and Java isn't as trivial as it may sound. A quick Google search brought some results about a PHP to Java "bridge", but that sounds kind of messy to me. If you really have to use a JAVA backend, I would definitely go with a JAVA+JSP web application rather than using a PHP frontend.

Indeed, but it is still a "workaround".
