[Php-java-bridge-users] Apache/IIS and JSR 223 integration

Here's a solution I've whipped together; the EngineFactory now accepts two more arguments, a protocol and a port number. If the HTTP server document root contains a copy of the web application, you can now invoke PHP libraries deployed into Apache of IIS using the JSR 223 API:


  <%!
  /* Create a PHP script with a function f() */
  private static java.io.File script;
  private static java.io.File getScript(String path) {
    if(script!=null) return script;
    return script=EngineFactory.getPhpScript(path, new StringReader(
       "<?php function f($arg) {return 1 + (int)(string)$arg); }; ?>"));
  }
  %>
  <%
  /* Create a standard script engine and invoke function f on http port 80 */
  ScriptEngine e = EngineFactory.getInvocablePhpScriptEngine (this, 
                              application, request, response, "http", 80);
  File script = getScript(application.getRealPath(request.getServletPath()));
  FileReader reader = EngineFactory.createPhpScriptFileReader(script);
  e.eval (reader); reader.close();
  Object result=((Invocable)i).invokeFunction("f",new Object[]{new Integer(2)});
  e.eval ((Reader)null); // flush the output generated by invokeXXX
  out.println("result from php::f(), printed from the servlet: " + result);
  %>
