Back in the olden days I used to use AOLServer
(http://www.aolserver.com) it has an internal TCL interpreter and
supports modules.  At one point I had PHP and Tomcat working with it. 

There are some really cool community modules for it using either Oracle 
or PostgreSQL (http://openacs.org/).  The community stuff is discussed
in a lot of detail in Philip Greenspun's book
(http://www.arsdigita.com/books/panda/).  ArsDigita
(http://www.arsdigita.com) did a lot of the original work, but it looks
like they have some sort of Java App now.

And if you want to try out the community system without AOLServer, there
is a mod_aolserver for Apache
(http://www.arsdigita.com/free-tools/mod_aolserver).
