php-java-bridge-users Mailing List for PHP/Java Bridge (Page 89)

Hi, 
   
  I have the problem to deploy PHP/Java bridge version 5.1.2 or 4.3.1 to the Tomcat. When I try to start it from Web browser I'm getting a plenty of messages "CGI / FastCGI has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.". 
  However, the problem does not exist if I use php-java-bridge 3.2.1.
   
  I'm using Java JDK 1.6 update 4, Tomcat 6.0, PHP 5.2.5 and Apache 2.2
   
  Thanks
  Zoran

Hi,

> I am trying to connect my php front-end to my web application in the tomcat backend.

all you need is the PhpJavaServlet in the back end and, if you don't want to call
the back end trough raw PHP fread/fwrite calls, the Java.inc (you can fetch the
Java.inc from the Servlet, or store it locally).

> myBackendApp.war", and that the example uses the
> JavaBridge.jar

It needs JavaBridge.jar and php-servlet.jar and the web.xml which declares the servlet stored
in php-servlet.jar.

You can use the JavaBridge.war as a template; JavaBridge.war is actually just a sample web archive
which contains some PHP examples.


> I will not need any deployed JavaBridge.war
> in order to communicate via the apache php and the tomcat java

Right. Just rename JavaBridge.war to foo.war and change your apache PHP script to

  require_once ("http://localhost:8080/foo/java/Java.inc");

:)


> Building this particular backend war requires quite a bit of effort

Just rename JavaBridge.war to myBackendApp.war, add the libraries and/or PHP files you need
to the myBackendApp.war zip archive and you're done.

Note that the Java files are distributed under the MIT License, so you can do whatever you want
with that code.

Hi Jost,

Thanks for the reply, and sorry for my lack of clarity.

> I need to confirm a call to com.dang through Tomcat:8080 without requiring local apache php
> load.

I am trying to connect my php front-end to my web application in the tomcat backend.  I see from the INSTALL.J2EE that I must deploy my "myBackendApp.war", and that the example uses the JavaBridge.jar.  I see that I must edit my Java.inc target to reflect this new web context, ie http://127.0.0.1:8080/myBackendApp.  Am I to understand that all that is required is the Java.inc in order to access myBackendApp, and that I will not need any deployed JavaBridge.war in order to communicate via the apache php and the tomcat java?

Building this particular backend war requires quite a bit of effort, but in addition - much of it includes production-ready deployment scripts, so knowing whether or not I must integrate the JavaBridge into deployment is very important.

Thank you for all of your hard work and time, I shall be sure to try and answer some of the posts on the threads as I become more familiar / confident with the package.

Thanks again,
~tim

The bridge uses fopen(somePort) and PHP fread/fwrite to communicate with Java. Please see the
README for details.

I am trying to connect my php front-end to my web application in the tomcat backend.

Hi,

For integrating a payment gateway for our web site, our org has been asked to configure PHP with java support. We thought of using WHM's (we use a cPanel linux server running CentOS) EasyApache to rebuild Apache and PHP with Java, but when we clicked on the 'More info' link next to Java in EasyApache, it took us to the following page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.java.php
 
 Unfortunately, the page also warns that the php extension is unstable and may be given up in future php versions. The comments on that page then point to php-java bridge and recommend it highly: http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/
 
Our questions are:

1.) We already have JDK 1.4.2 at /usr/local/. Does this mean we already have java running or that php has java support?
2.) If we were to use php-java-brdige, will it meet our gateway provider's requirement of having PHP with java support? Basically, the shopping cart is a php/mysql thing, so the php application needs to call certain .jar files relevant to the payment gateway.
3.) If we install php-java-bridge, can we remove the jdk

 We are running a VPS (Virtuozzo on 64-bit kernel), but we don't have a great IT team to support us as we are an org, so I am hoping someone here could guide us about the Java support.

Thanks in advance,
Ramdak

Hi

the port number is missing.  It should be:

 require_once("http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");

or simply

 require_once ("java/Java.inc");

Thanx Jost for your reply.

I have disabled mod_jk and enabled mod_proxy as per your suggestion, but th=
e
problem is still the same. If I put test123.php under JavaBridge, it works
fine. But whereas if I put test123.php under Apache DocumentRoot, it still
gives me the same error. The code I am trying to execute in test123.php is
following:

<?php
if(!extension_loaded("java"))
          require_once("http://localhost/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");
        $s =3D new Java("java.lang.String", "hello");
phpinfo();
?>

I am able to access http://localhost/JavaBridge and execute PHP scripts
under this app.

Is my desired setup configuration i.e. PHP scripts on Apache htdocs and
JavaClasses on Tomcat correct? What are the better alternatives to this
setup?

Bharti

Hi,

>using mod_jk connectors

you must forward *all* requests to the back end or none. Please consult the mod_jk dokumentation
for details.

However, mod_jk is slow and very difficult to set up. A much better approach is to use mod_rewrite
or mod_proxy. Example httpd.conf:

    ProxyPass /JavaBridge balancer://mycluster maxattempts=3
    <Proxy balancer://mycluster>

Hi,

I have a very basic question regarding my installation and usage of
JavaBridge. Here is my setup:

Apache                 -----------------------------------
Tomcat
[Runs PHP
[Serving as back-end,
Scripts]
using mod_jk connectors]

I want to use PHP/Java Bridge to call Java Classes for some backend
operations. Following is my setup configuration:

OS: Windows XP
Apache: 2.2.6
PHP: 5.2.4
Tomcat: 5.0.24

I have done following under installation of JavaBridge:

1. Copied JavaBridge.war in webapps folder of tomcat.
2. Restarted Tomcat server.
3. I can access http://localhost/JavaBridge
4. Copied test.php into Apache/htdocs folder.
5. Access to http://localhost/test.php is giving following error:

right. One must load a class before it can be used.

I am sorry, but I don't understand the above sentence. 

Do you want to use the static loader? All you need to do is to copy dang.jar to the tomcat
WEB-INF/lib directory and re-start tomcat.

The only advantage the zend_extension offers is binary compatibility. 

We could as well leave everything as it is and add a note that users can load the
java.so as a zend_extension, if they want to.

this means that there's a bug in your application logic. It probably does not check

Hello all,

I have this weird problem end i don't know where to start debugging. I have
this search engine JAVA Lucene build with php/javabridge, so i don't use the
'converted' php interface but the original java jar. When my application is
searching (which is quite expensive with resources because of complex
queries) and another user on another pc starts another search, the objects
used for searching are suddenly dropped in the first search so i get a 'call
to a member function on a non object' fatal error. Any idea what could be
the problem? increasing the number of threads? any other suggestions? thanks
in advance!

-- 
Gilbert

I am sorry for posting this in advance.

I need help setting up, I have gone over quite a few things - and need =
to confirm it works before I configure code deployment on centos.  Right =
now:

OS: winxpsp2
PHP vi apache: 5.2.5
PHP vi Tomcat: 5.2.1
Apache: 2.2
J2EE: Tomcat 6

I have deployed the javabridge into Tomcat,=20

phpinfo() via apache reports 5.2.5, however JavaBridge reports 5.2.1 via =
Tomcat?

As I understand it, my php.ini should have nothing for java module =
settings.

My php page is as follows

   <?php
    	require_once("java/Java.inc");
=09
    	$SystemClazz =3D Java("java.lang.System");

	$date =3D new Java("java.util.Date");
	echo $date->toString() . "\n";

	$system =3D new Java("java.lang.System");
	echo "OS: ".$system->getProperty("os.name")."\n";

	$math =3D new Java("java.lang.Math");
	echo "PI: ".$math->PI."\n";

	$jspider =3D new com_dang("arg1","arg2");

    	echo "end";

   ?>:

Where com_dang is a class in a jar loaded into the tomcat/lib folder.  =
the Date and System calls produce expected result.

However, the only way I can instantiate a class of com.dang is by =
adding:

	java_autoload("D:\appz\java\dang.jar");
=09
after require_once("java/Java.inc");

(which of course contains the class com.dang and is located @ =
D:\appz\java\dang.jar)

I need to confirm a call to com.dang through Tomcat:8080 without =
requiring local apache php load.

Sorry again.

Hello, 

I just updated the CVS tree containing the debian directory for generating

the Debian packages. 

Please, test the building following the updated instructions [0] and post

comments / suggestions at the list. 

The instructions should work for Ubuntu, also. 

I will wait 2 days for comments before uploading binary files for public

downloads. 

If one is interested in how it works, please read the wiki page [1]. 

Regards.

Hello, Jost
Today I updated the ./debian directory with some improvements and
prunings.
Still needs further tests to announce it, but should compile and package
from a plain cvs checkout, as per README.debian .

Maybe the files you cited were removed from the packages by now.
Could you try to compile yourself in a Debian or maybe Ubuntu (virtual)
machine?

The Debian php extension directory is calculated dinamicaly at
compilation time by the line (today) 37:

	PHP_EXT_DIR := $(shell /usr/bin/php-config --extension-dir)

To edit the java.ini dinamicaly, some shell tricks should be performed,
and the postinst and postrm scripts could become really tricky.
Previous versions of Debian php had such nasty tricks to edit and
"unedit" ini files.
Today, the php packages are much more cleaner [0], [1].

As the php extension dir location is calculated at Debian package
compilation time, it will shurely compile for future versions.

Maybe I missed something, but in this scenario are there still
significant benefits of using zend_extension enough to justify dirty
tricks at packaging? 
I am trying to clean the packaging files and rules as I learn more [2].
The target is lintian zero errors and warnings [4] against Debian Policy
[3].

Best regards.

I would like to start using iText, and I think the quickest way for me 
to do so would be to use php-java-bridge. Is it possible to install 
php-java-bridge on a server running the following:

tomcat 4.1
java 1.4.2
apache 2.0.51
php 5.0.4
gcc 3.3.3

If so, what would be the best strategy?
