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

Hi,

yes, I saw it.

The PHP/Java Bridge development process took more than 6 years.

During this time some things changed; the new PHP/Zend object system became
stable, eliminating the need for a dedicated java.so/php_java.dll and global
java.ini file (or a php.ini file with java declarations in it).

The proposed PHP namespace separator has changed, too.  Instead of

  new org_poi_something(...)

PHP 5.3 wants you to use a backslash instead:

  java_autoload("poi.jar");
  new org\poi\something(...);

The underscore syntax has been removed in bridge version 5.5.4.  --
Publishing  poi and lucene examples using the underscore syntax and then
silently removing it was certainly a mistake. I will revert this change.
Your code with the underscore will work again in version 5.5.4.1.

The third problem I see is that PHP developers don't understand Java's
immature library handling. We have tried to solve this problem by
introducing special java_require($libs) and java_autoload($libs) procedures.
But these special procedures cannot fix Java's fundamental flaw, so we have
removed them from the documentation and recommend Tomcat or some JEE
container instead (so that the PermGenSpace and NoClassDefFound errors go to
the JEE container developers, not to us).

To avoid the mentioned issues, please deploy JavaBridge.war or
JavaBridgeTemplate.war to a JEE server or servlet engine, remove all legacy
java.so/php_java.dll and php.ini, and then require() Java.inc directly from
the back end.

Well, the communication goes through the HTTP URL connection you have used
to fetch the Java.inc. If your script uses

<?php
require("http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");
...

all further communication uses the back end at

  localhost:8080/JavaBridge.

It's really that simple. Just get rid of the old php.ini cruft. :)

Hello,

I've having some trouble with Drupal recognizing my php-java bridge.  My
goal is to install sheetnode w/ XLS import/export, and I've followed the
instructions detailed here:

http://drupal.org/project/sheetnode

I'm using Java JRE6:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_16"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode)

And using php version 5.2.6


I've installed the php/java bridge using the instructions detailed here:

http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/installation.php

I've installed Tomcat (version 5.5.27), and moved the war file into my
webapps directory.  I'm using virtualhosts, so I have a symlink from the
virtual host's root to the JavaBridge webapp directory.  I can run the
examples on the page just fine, so it looks like the PHP/Java bridge works.
 It just seems that Drupal for some reason cannot recognize it.

In Drupal, when I try to install the php/java bridge module I get this error
message:

(Currently using PHP/Java Bridge extension PHP/Java Bridge extension is NOT
loaded in php.ini. Please install it.)
This seems to indicate that I need to install some kind of php extension,
like "java.so", but such a file is not included in the PHP/JavaBridge
download.  In fact the FAQs here
http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/FAQ.html say:

So there's no extension, I just have to be running a Java Virtual Machine.
 As mentioned before, I am running Tomcat, and do have JavaBridge running.
 However, somehow Drupal doesn't seem to recognize that it exists.

Wondering where to go from here.  Please send me any recommendations.

Thanks
