[Php-java-bridge-users] Bridge from PHP

Hello,

I am confused as to whether or not there is a .so (or .dll for windows)
that does the same thing as the pure PHP Java.inc?  Basically, I want my
LAMP (or WAMP) server with no java installed to connect to a remote Java
object server.  I was able to do this fine with the pure PHP Java.inc.

 

The pure PHP Java.inc does what I want it to do, but would not a .so (or
.dll for windows) be a little faster?  I am confused as to whether or
not the functional equivalent of the pure PHP Java.inc can be built from
the source into an .so (without Java on the compile machine).  I guess
another way to put it is I want to eliminate the include() call.

 

I know the FAQ says that this is not a performance issue....I suppose
this is true if the server cache's the Java.inc opcode...but would not a
.so still be faster?

 

So I guess my specific questions are:

1.	Is there a way to build an .so that does what Java.inc does in
terms of enabling connections to remote Java services w/o Java on the
local machine?
2.	Has anybody turned Java.inc into a .so, or is the consensus that
caching the opcode is fast "enough"?

 

Thanks!
