it is certainly possible to "magically" wrap and unwrap PHP objects.

I understand that this may become a portability issue, provided that there will be more than PHP/Java JSR 223 binding which wraps/unwraps PHP objects automatically. But since such an alternative binding does not exist yet, we will keep java_closure() and java_values().

Any good PHP/Java binding will not wrap/unwrap PHP objects automatically, because this will become a major performance issue, even for a non-remoting script engine. Furthermore with auto-unwrapping enabled the following code will fail:

$buf = new java("java.util.StringBuffer", "1234567890")
$str = $buf->toString()
$str = $str->substring(1,5) will fail because str is a PHP
$str = $str->substring(2)   string, not a Java string anymore

Hi,

Please either re-check the java_closure() documentation and/or the JSR 223 API documentation.


Either change the code to 

  return java_closure($t)

or use the standard JSR 223 API to create a Java interface for the PHP object $t and return the generated interface:
