Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] Need clarification in setting up PHP/Java bridge

Only the java/Java.inc is neccessary.

Everything except WEB-INF/web.xml, WEB-INF/lib/{JavaBridge*,*php*}.jar

If you want to run PHP scripts directly from servlets, you need to keep the WEB-INF/cgi directory.

I would use mod_proxy instead of mod_jk. mod_proxy also supports load balancing, if you need it. Please see our FAQ for details.

Yes. If you touch the WEB-INF/web.xml, the web context automatically
reloads all libraries.

You can copy JavaBridge to MyWebApp and access that. Both applications will be separated. If you want to hard-code all requests to MyWebApp, just fetch the Java.inc from MyWebApp or hard-code the string in java/Java.inc or use a define(...) before including Java.inc. 

Please see our FAQ for details
