[Php-java-bridge-users] Caching of remote jar files

Hi,

since version 4.1.4 the bridge doesn't use a
JarURLConnection anymore. This means that the
DynamicClassLoader can now track changes in remote jar
files.

The problem was that, in order to load classes from a
remote jar file, java had to copy it into a local temp
directory and use the copy for all further operations.

The standard jar loader creates a temporary copy and
deletes it when the VM terminates. This behaviour
makes the DynamicClassLoader unusable for remote
files.

I have added a connection class which fetches the
remote jar file and caches it until the associated URL
is finalized. Please see 

http://php-java-bridge.cvs.sourceforge.net/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge/server/php/java/bridge/DynamicJarURLConnection.java?view=markup&sortby=date

for details.

(I haven't tested it very much, but the algorithm
should work).


Furthermore the bridge now contains a full-featured
HTTP server which gets started by double-clicking on
JavaBridge.jar. 

It cannot handle JSP pages, but it can handle
server-side scripts, including python, php, bean shell
and jscript. 

The server uses the standard discovery mechanism to
load the script implementation. This means that you
can add further script implementations by adding them
to java ext dirs.


Regards,
Jost Boekemeier
