php-java-bridge-users Mailing List for PHP/Java Bridge

I appreciate your attempt to help with this, but the documentation and
my lack of Java knowledge is becoming tedious.

I get this message when running the script that you and I have been
sending back and forth:
---------------------
PHP 5.0.4 too old.
For PHP versions < 5.1.4 install the java.so or php_java.dll from the
php-java-bridge-legacy download.
Or set the path to the PHP executable, see php_exec in the
WEB-INF/web.xml
---------------------

The web.xml file lists this php_exec under a section titled "PHP CGI
servlet: when IIS or Apache are not available" and I have put the php
binary as a value (uncommented). =20

What I don't get is that Apache *is* available, so why is the
documentation steering me towards this implementation?  Please explain.

I do not understand how PHP deals with Java's instances.  I do
understand objects and classes from a PHP perspective, but I have just
begun to learn Java so this process has a learning curve for me.  Try to
be open-minded.

I installed this: php-java-bridge-4.0.7_j2ee and though the environment
is a virtual dedicated server, my rights are sadly limited.  If I could
update php I would.

I've got tomcat running on autostart and have the bridge in its webapps
directory. =20

If tomcat is supplying the VM, why am I getting stack heap issues in
trying to start a VM when merely calling java -jar JavaBridge.jar --help
?

This has *got* to work, I just need to figure out how...

--K

  $algorithm = java("java.security.MessageDigest");
  $algorithm->getInstance("md5");
  $algorithm->reset();
 
  As far as I understood the discussion this should be $algo = java(...)->getInstance(...).
  You want to reset the algorithm, not the class, no?

Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

Hi,

> And a beginner with Java I am, indeed.  

Isn't it possible to test your scripts on a local
computer? 

When they work, you can create a web archive (.war
file) and deploy it into the Tomcat/J2EE server of
your ISP.

After that symlink or copy the scripts from the tomcat
webapps directory to the Apache or IIS document root
and you're done.

Hi,

which version of the bridge do you use?

> same exception as a few days ago, which was that
> update() didn't exist:

Yes, I've seen the message. However, the message was
correct, update is not a static feature of the class.

> In other various tests it would toss a "reset()
> doesn't exist"

How does the code look like? Do you see the reset()
function when you call 

  echo java_inspect($obj);

I think you've confused the class and the instance.

What do you mean with this? The init-param is still
commented out!?!

This is a misunderstanding, anyway. The J2EE component
uses the built-in php-cgi.exe, which is 5.1.4. But you
want to use Apache or IIS as a front end and the PHP
version installed there.

I didn't know that you use an old version of PHP,
sorry.

> When I run 'which php' I get '/usr/bin/php'

Irrelevant. The Apache binary uses a dll/shared
object.

Too bad.
