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

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.

Hi,


> Using php-java-bridge v 4.1.1

Please try version 4.1.2. Or use the latest stable
version, which is PHP/Java Bridge 3.2.1.

Version 4.1.1 had problems with persistent
connections; We have rewritten the C extension so that
it uses the same path as the pure PHP implementation.

Yes, version 4.1.1 had serious problems when used with
the C based extension (java.so or php_java.dll).

The C extension is really hard to maintain, but we
have decided to keep it. The pure PHP implementation
is a little bit slower as it always connects to the
servlet to obtain a context factory and then switches
to one of the ContextRunners. But its logic is easy to
understand and very robust.

In versions 4.1.2 and above the C extension should
work again.

Jost Bökemeier
