Hi,

> I am trying to connect my php front-end to my web application in the tomcat backend.

all you need is the PhpJavaServlet in the back end and, if you don't want to call
the back end trough raw PHP fread/fwrite calls, the Java.inc (you can fetch the
Java.inc from the Servlet, or store it locally).

> myBackendApp.war", and that the example uses the
> JavaBridge.jar

It needs JavaBridge.jar and php-servlet.jar and the web.xml which declares the servlet stored
in php-servlet.jar.

You can use the JavaBridge.war as a template; JavaBridge.war is actually just a sample web archive
which contains some PHP examples.

Right. Just rename JavaBridge.war to foo.war and change your apache PHP script to

  require_once ("http://localhost:8080/foo/java/Java.inc");

:)


> Building this particular backend war requires quite a bit of effort

Just rename JavaBridge.war to myBackendApp.war, add the libraries and/or PHP files you need
to the myBackendApp.war zip archive and you're done.

Note that the Java files are distributed under the MIT License, so you can do whatever you want
with that code.
