There are multiple ways you can do this and/or setup server configuration(s) to accomplish this.

In a single droplet situation you can use a proxy server like NGINX or HAProxy to answer on ports 80/443 and route the traffic to the appropriate backend server/project - In your case this would be your LAMP and Java projects - Each of these project would need to be configured to answer on a different port then 80/443 like 8080, 81, this is up to you.

Here is a great start on how to do so with NGINX:
