Yes -- I also thought about moving your
org/eclipse/birt/php/birtengine/BirtEngine.java to the src ("server")
directory, to make it easier to build a customized birtEngine.jar.

In this case the birtEngine.jar can be removed, the BirtEngine.java
should contain a copyright notice (license is MIT?) and we need to add
an ant task to build birtEngine.jar.

Subject: Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] BIRT Report Designer

Jost,

I downloaded the latest JavaBridge.war file and updated and tested it.  I should have this up on our site shortly.  I also checked out the project from sourceforge and made the updates, but before I check them in I wanted to verify I have the right locations.

I updated the birtEngine.jar and placed it in examples/php+jsp directory.  The jar contains the source as well.
I updated the orginal index.php to add a link to another php page that has a bunch of examples using the Bridge with BIRT.  In this same directory I added all the example php files and birt report designs that are used with them.  I also added a folder named birtreportlib, that shows how to use birt libraries with the Bridge.

Next I updated the unsupported/eclispe.birt.lib folder to have the most recent birt 2.6 libraries
I also updated the unsupported/platform directory to contain the latest plugins and configuration directories.

I assume the birtEngine.jar will wind up in the /WEB-INF/lib directory with the libs from the unsupported/eclipse.birt.lib libs?

Thanks for your help

Jason

Use

  $ex->getCause();

to retrieve your exception.


Regards,
Jost Bökemeier

Hello all,

 

I have a java class that extends exception and it is being thrown.

 

I can't seem to be able to catch it in PHP. If I catch JavaException my
variables (errNum & errMsg) cannot be found.

 

My class is as follows:

 

public class ErrorDetail extends Exception {

 

     public int errNum;

     public String errMsg;

 

     // constructors:

     public ErrorDetail() {

        errNum = 0;

        errMsg = "";               

     }

 

     public ErrorDetail( int num, String msg ) {

        errNum = num;

        errMsg = msg;           

     }

       

     /* method of the ErrorDetail class that returns true

        if an error has not occurred:                       */

     public boolean checkError() {

                return ( errNum == 0 );

     }

}

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

Rob

 

Jost,

Sure I can do it.
Do I have CVS access?

Hi,

the PHP/Java Bridge ships with BIRT 2.5, I think.

Hai all,



I've downloaded BIRT Report Designer version 2.6.0 for Windows. I've
installed TomCat (on LINUX server) and I've placed the latest PHP Java
Bridges files. The reports, I created with this BIRT Report Designer are
not supported by the PHP Java Bridge. The example report of PHP Java
Bridge works fine! But editing the report with BIRT Report Designer, I
get the message that the original report was created by an earlier
version.



The reports, created with the designer are (I think) too new for the PHP

argv is passed by jrunscript on ENGINE_SCOPE:

  jrunscript -classpath JavaBridge.jar -l php test.php

You can access it using

  <?php // test.php
    echo java_context()->get("argv");
   ?>

However, that's just a convention. You may use any bindings to PHP
using the JSR223 API.

Hi Jost,

Thanks for the quick reply. Also--if for some reason this creates a new
thread... I'm REALLY sorry. I don't have a tendency to interact with a lot
of SourceForge projects lately and I couldn't exactly figure out the proper
way to reply to you response. I figured that if the mailman system were
smart it'd pick up on the fact that I added the same subject, but prefix
"Re:" to it and thread it in properly. Once again, sorry if I created a new
thread on this by accident. =/

There was some reason I wasn't doing this. But honestly--I can't remember
now. Maybe it was just because I was being stubborn. Who knows. Obviously
you point out a very simple and obvious solution for my woes. One which I
should not ignore. Of course, now that I'm knee deep in the code I want to
play. So at least I have a fall back solution. Thank you for pointing it
out!

I must have some how missed the FAQ entry on configuring the bridge. I'll
double check that out. Thank you so much for pointing it out to me!

What I mean by "script level arguments" (the term is probably incorrect) are
those arguments that you pass in as parameters to the script being run. Sort
of like the main()'s argc/argv arguments.  For instance, the phing.php
script takes a couple of arguments to determine what it should run (like
Ant): -buildfile build.xml task. These are what I'm referring to as "script
level" arguments.

Thats very good to know. Thank you Jost for your prompt and very helpful
reply! Off to go play in the code pit!

Sean W. Quinn

Hi,

why don't you simply use an Ant exec task. The build.xml shipped with
the JavaBridge source code uses this, too.

You can use -Dphp.java.bridge.php_exec=/path/to/php-cgi.exe if php-cgi
is not in the PATH. Please see php.java.bridge.global.properties file
and our FAQ entry "How can I configure the bridge?"

Yes, please see PHP_EXEC_ARGS from the
php.java.bridge.global.properties file and our FAQ entry "How can I
configure the bridge?"


> 3. Does the PHP Java Bridge support setting script level arguments? Again,

What are script-level arguments? Do you mean JSR 223 bindings? Please
see the JSR 223 specification for details.

(new ScriptEngineManager()).getEngineByName("php").eval("<?php exit(1+2);");

is just a glorified version of System.exec(...), as long as you don't
decorate the standard ScriptContext. So it isn't very useful for your
task.

It is the launcher.exe, encoded in 4 64k chunks (due to constraints of
the JVM). Please see target name="LauncherWindows" in
http://php-java-bridge.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge/build.xml?view=markup

Hi,

First off, if similar questions have been asked and answers provided
previously on the mailing list I apologize for asking them again. I could
not fine definite answers to some of these questions when thumbing through
either examples, the source, or the mailing list archives.

I'm building a tool, albeit somewhat as a science project and a convenience
tool that integrates launching PHP processes from Ant. I actually am using
it to launch Phing processes through Ant in Eclipse for my PHP development.
I know that no matter what I do, performance will not be nearly as good as
going straight to the PHP exe, but I'm still interested in pursuing this
approach.

Prior to looking at the PHP Java Bridge I have code that will launch PHP
processes using Java's Runtime as an Ant task, however I was looking to see
if:

A) the PHP Java Bridge could be used so that I could clean up some of my
code and re-use elements that have been developed to suit similar needs thus
building on what is already out there.

and

B) to determine if the PHP Java Bridge (should it work, or at the very least
its approach) is more efficient than what I was previously doing.

I've run into a few snags though, so far as I can tell the PHP Java Bridge
requires that the PHP executable be somewhere on the path as it is known by
the OS through its environment variable(s) or on a path that the PJB has
hard coded to look for it on (e.g. /usr/bin/php, or C:/Program Files/PHP).
In addition I've found very little literature in the source code, examples,
or on the mailing list that detail how a PHP process might be started with
commandline arguments, and script arguments passed in. I have, however, been
successful at launching a rather rudimentary example that effectively is
"php-cgi.exe foo.php".

So my questions are these:
1. Does the PHP Java Bridge support some means of identifying the location
that it should search for an PHP executable in, either by adding it to the
common paths in Util.Process or by just searching on the path given? Even if
this functionality isn't provided "out-of-the-box" so to speak, is there an
class that is easily extensible that I could leverage to make it work in
this manner (maybe a new ScriptEngine, Factory, Context?)
2. Does the PHP Java Bridge support setting command line arguments on the
PHP executable (e.g. "-d foo=bar")? If it does not, is there any way to
extend existing classes to add this functionality and if so what classes
should I look at?
3. Does the PHP Java Bridge support setting script level arguments? Again,
if it does not, is there any way to extend existing classes to add this
functionality and if so what classes should I look at?

I was going a bit cross-eyed tracking the code where it gets executed and by
whom. I didn't see any place where to set the path or arguments explicitly
and I suspect I might want to tool around in the Context files, but have yet
to get that far. Any help that someone would give would be really
appreciated.

Also, as an aside, I stumbled upon the LauncherWindows classes... and I'm
not really sure what it is that they do. I mean, I can tell they are four
parts of a binary file definition, but what binary? I'm curious.

Thank you!

(Note: I originally sent this before subscribing to the list and it got
stuck in a "requires moderator approval" queue, so I resent it. Hopefully
only one of the messages gets posted to the mailing list, if both do... I'm
sorry!)

Hi Marc,

I think you've lost it. I admit that the java class loading mechanism
is hard to understand.

But this definitely sounds like a class path problem.

If the common class loader loads any classes referring to the servlet
API, I'd expect such errors, yes. Please see our FAQ entry "Why do I
get a NoClassDefFoundError?" at
http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/FAQ.html


> /usr/share/tomcat6/lib

Remove it. The entire tomcat installation. And remove all "Java" files
from your system.

Download the original tomcat from tomcat.apache.org (any version).
Download Java from Oracle. Install them. Then please follow the
installation instructions from
http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/tomcat6.php.

Remember to *move* the libraries over to the tomcat lib dir. A *copy*
operation from one class path to the other will cause the problems
you've described. Please see our FAQ "Why do I get a
NoClassDefFoundError?" at
http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/FAQ.html

Jost -  I fear I am quite baffled by this problem, and don't fully 
understand your reply... My Tomcat6 server is having no problems running 
other servlets, and it is only this php-java-bridge servlet that I am 
having troubles with... I have tried a couple different things to see if 
I could get anywhere and so far no joy...

I installed the 3 jar files - JavaBridge.jar,  php-script.jar,  
php-servlet.jar in the Tomcat6 lib directory - /usr/share/tomcat6/lib on 
my server. I should think the Common class loader would be able to find 
the class file for php.java.servlet.fastcgi.FastCGIServlet in the 
php-servlet.jar file without any problems.  I also tried to install 
these 3 jar files in my local webapp directory where I placed my 
test.php file - ROOT/WEB-INF/lib without success either. So one of the 
class loaders should have been able to find the php-servlet.jar file and 
loaded the FastCGIServlet class ok..

I applied the fixes suggested by Sravan and here is what my test.php 
file now looks like -

<?php require_once("java/Java.inc");
echo java("java.lang.System")->getProperties(); ?>

and I included this lines in the web.xml file  in the conf directory -

<listener>
<listener-class>php.java.servlet.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

<servlet>
<servlet-name>PhpJavaServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>php.java.servlet.PhpJavaServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet>
<servlet-name>PhpCGIServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>php.java.servlet.fastcgi.FastCGIServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>prefer_system_php_exec</param-name>
<param-value>On</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>php_include_java</param-name>
<param-value>Off</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>PhpJavaServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.phpjavabridge</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>PhpCGIServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.php</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

At this point I decided to try a different tactic and removed the 
aforementioned jar files and deployed just the JavaBridge.war file 
instead. That resulted in the following errors -

So another dead end! Ideas?    Marc

There's a ready-made decorator in PHP/Java Bridge 6.2.1-test1:
http://php-java-bridge.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge/server/php/java/script/servlet/PhpCompiledHttpScriptContext.java?revision=1.1&view=markup


It can be used as follows:

private static final CompiledScript script = ((Compilable)(new
ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("php-invocable"))).compile("<?php
echo java_context()->get('hello'); function f($p){return
(string)$p+1;};?>");
ScriptContext ctx = new
php.java.script.servlet.PhpCompiledHttpScriptContext(script.getEngine().getContext(),this,application,request,response);
script.eval(ctx);
out.println(String.valueOf(((Invocable)script.getEngine()).invokeFunction("f",
new Object[]{1}))+"<br>");
((Closeable)script.getEngine()).close();


Please see examples
http://php-java-bridge.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge/examples/php%2Bjsp/jsr223.jsp?view=markup&sortby=date

If both tomcat intances show the same problem, the cause is external,
for example a classpath problem. A "NoClassDefFoundError" for example
caused b a library loaded from an external loader (e.g. the bootstrap
loader).

Please check the cause why your tomcat isn't able to instanciate a
standard Java servlet.

Jost Bökemeier

Sorry I did mean web.xml.

There's one thing in particular that I had to fix. In the web.xml file, the
website tells you to type in this line
<init-param><param-name>php_include_java</param-name><param-value>On</param-value></init-param>
The line should in fact be:
<init-param><param-name>php_include_java</param-name><param-value>Off</param-value></init-param>

As well at the head of each PHP file you must include
require_once("java/Java.inc");

The java folder is in each webapp in Tomcat.

If that doesn't help post your php code. I'm using Tomcat 6 and the only
problem I encountered were fixed by the above changes.

Sravan -  Thanks for your reply, I am not sure what code it is that you would like me to post? Could you be more explicit?

I have not modified the server.xml file in any way, nor does the website instructions tell me to do anything to it. The only file I have modified is conf/web.xml and I included the listener, servlet, and servlet-mappings configurations as described. Would you like me to post it?

Jost - Thanks for your reply, but sorry to report that it resulted in 
exactly the same symptoms. So no joy!
I did a fresh download of Tomcat 6 and placed it in a separate 
directory, stopped my original version, started the new version, 
followed the instructions as previously described and got exactly the 
same servlet exception error...
