We have a Linux / Apache 1.3 / PHP 5.3 web Server running multiple
websites.
We need to setup a Payment Gateway application that requires JavaBridge
as it is coded in Java.
We do have Java - with JDK 1.6 installed on the server.
We just need to be able to run their Java programs from a PHP script
that will be called
from a web browser (Actually from WordPress - using the WP e-Commerce
plugin)
(there is no need to run PHP scripts from the Java app AFAIK) -
So my questions are :
1) . Can we just use JavaBridge for this purpose - as the documentation
shows that javabridge can be used as a servlet engine ?
We do NOT want to install a separate Tomcat or other J2EE server.
2) If yes, how do we do this exactly -
a) Which JavaBridge files do we need on the server and where do we
copy these files ? To the Java /lib folder or to the Website's root
(public_html) folder ?
b) How do we run the JavaBridge app as a service/daemon in Linux that
can run in the background ?
( We tried running it from a shell command but it runs in the foreground
and would terminate once the shell was closed)
c) How do we call the java programs from PHP ?
Although I did go thru the documentation - it is quite confusing as
there are so many options for the installation.
Any help / advice or pointers to an existing document that describes
this in detail would be great !
Thanks in advance for any help.
