Thread: [Php-java-bridge-users] initial questions

 

I am hoping that the php/java bridge will allow me to do what I think it
will and would like confirmation from active users..  Thanks in advance.

 

 

I will have a box at one location that will be running apache2/php5.

I have another box at a remote location running tomcat with servlets that I
need to access in order to query a back end database.

I will be running a VPN pipe between the two for security purposes.

 

My understanding so far is that I do not to need to use a usual mod_jk type
of connection between the two. (?)

 

The purpose of this project is to incorporate the functionality of the java
servlets into an existing php site.   I intend to pass php variable values
to servlets on the tomcat box to retrieve information from the backend
database and present it using php generated html on the apache box.

 

Am I on the right track?

Please see our FAQ "I want to use Apache/IIS as a front-end and tomcat as a back end. How do I enable PHP and JSP for all my applications?"

For this you don't need JSP. Just copy the JavaBridge.war to your J2EE back end, wait until the JavaBridge directory appears and copy the JavaBridge folder to the HTTP server. Please see our install instructions for details.
