I would go for java, as it is much faster (orders of magnitude) than 
php, and there a lot of documentation on how to build secure 
applications in java both on the net and in the bookstores.

Another advantage of java is that if you go the java road that you may 
apply role based security on a method level (using EJB technology). Java 
also have a much better track record with respect to exploits compared 
to PHP, even though some of the PHP problems are more related to poor 
programing practices of the PHP users than to problems with PHP itself.

The problem with java is that you usually have to pay more money to your 
service provider
to run a JSPs , Servlets and EJBs than you have to pay to run php.
