I want to develop a commercial web application, I know I can develop this website using PHP and then encode/obfuscate with zend guard php encoder and other tools. If i want to develop this website using java, is it possible to protect the source code ?

The user never sees the Java source code, they only see generated HTML, JavaScript and CSS – Draken Apr 20 '16 at 15:02

Yes. There are many java obfuscation tools out there. If you must ship/distribute or entrust your java build artifacts (ie a jar, war or ear file) to a 3rd party then you can obfuscate your code, if you wish. This makes it very difficult (but not impossible) to reverse engineer.
