AFAIK:
Actually, the two aren't directly comparable. LAMP refers to the entire software stack: the OS: Linux; the web server: Apache; the database: mysql; and the app layer: PHP, Python, or even Perl. J2EE, OTOH, is only an app layer.
The acronym LAMP evolved to describe a observed phenomenon: that many new websites were getting up and running quickly, easily, effectively, and affordable, using a remarkably homogenous software stack. People needed a way to refer to this approach/phenomenon, so LAMP was coined.
Since no similar phenomenon ever occurred with Java web development, there isn't really a common stack - at least not one common enough to to attain a moniker.
That said, you may just be looking to understand what a typical Java web stack might be comprised of. If so, I'd describe it like so: OS: any; web server: any, Apache is common; database: any; app layer: any, Tomcat, Glassfish, Jetty, Websphere, Weblogic being common.
If I were looking to make a website using Java, I might use Jetty; it's a web server and Servlet/JSP engine all in one. I'm also using the excellent Restlet with the embedded HTTP server Simple to build REST web services.
