-What is PHP4 ext/java?
-
- PHP4 ext/java provides a simple and effective means for creating and
- invoking methods on Java objects from PHP. The JVM is created using JNI,
- and everthing runs in-process.
-
- Two examples are provided, jver and jawt, to illustrate usage of this
- extension. A few things to note:
-
- 1) new Java() will create an instance of a class if a suitable constructor
- is available. If no parameters are passed and the default constructor
- is private, then an instance of the class is returned instead. This
- is useful as it provides access to classes like "java.lang.system"
- which expose most of their functionallity through static methods.
-
- 2) Accessing a member of an instance will first look for bean properties
- then public fields. In other words, "print $date.time" will first
- attempt to be resolved as "$date.getTime()", then as "$date.time";
-
- 3) Both static and instance members can be accessed on an object with
- the same syntax. Furthermore, if the java object is of type
- "java.lang.Class", then static members
-
- 4) Exceptions raised result in PHP warnings, and null results.
-
- 5) Overload resolution is in general a hard problem given the
- differences in types between the two languages. This being said,
- the current support is pretty lame and I intend to improve it.
- The current algorithm is to pick the first method with the right
- name (ignoring case!) and number of parameters - I warned you it
- was lame!
-
-Build and execution instructions:
-
- Given the number of platforms and providers of JVMs, no single set of
- instructions will be able to cover all cases. So in place of hard and
- fast instructions, below are a working examples for a number of free and
- commercial implementations and platforms. Please adjust the paths to
- suit your installation. Also, if you happen to get this to work on
- another JVM/platform combination, please let me know, particularly if
- a unique build or execution setup was required.
-
- This function has been tested in both CGI and Apache (apxs) modes. As
- the current design requires shared libraries, this support can not be
- linked statically into Apache.
-
- Finally, it is worth noting that no JVMs are created until the first
- Java call is made. This not only eliminates unnecessary overhead if
- the extension is never used, it also provides error messages directly
- back to the user instead of being burried in a log some place.
- Additionally, on Unix, the loading of the shared library which implements
- the JVM is also deferred until first use.
