Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] object persistence best practice?

Thanks Jost, for your quick reply.

That looks like a very handy class (I had not even stumbled across
that folder yet; it looks like it contains other useful things).
Unfortunately, I need to be able to connect to the same Java object
from multiple php scripts, with the risk that one call will be
executing while another script begins access.  So file access won't be
enough.  Named sessions won't be enough, either, since even instances
of the same session are separate executions when they are from
different scripts.  What I really want to do is be able to send
messages across the bridge to the same Java execution from different
scripts.

Is there any discussion/documentation of how exactly the PHP/Java
Bridge keeps track of the scripts that are accessing it?

I have planned a workaround using cron jobs, in which case I might go
ahead and use Persistence rather than Session (and consolidate calls
to the object every 10 or 20 seconds, say).  But it would be much
nicer to just keep it running, since the web app will be accessing it
pretty constantly.

Thanks,

Chris
