[Php-java-bridge-users] Second server via SSL

[<php...@li...>]

Hi,

Appologies if this has already been covered but my searches have been
fruitless.

I wish to use Java from within PHP.

I have a Centos 5.4 server (lets call it tomcat_host) set up with
tomcat5 (http:8080, https:8443), PHP Java Bridge 6.1 and php 5.3.2 all
working great (this is a OpenVZ container running on a x64_64 node).

I have another server (php_host) with which I wish to access
tomcat_host. (This is Centos 4.5, php 5.2.12 running on VMserver)

I have a php page on php_host which works great:

<?php

require_once("http://tomcat_host:8080/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");

$props = java("java.lang.System")->getProperties();

$array = java_values($props);
foreach($array as $k=>$v) {
	echo "$k=>$v"; echo "<br>\n";
}
?>

When I change the require line to:

require_once("https://tomcat_host:8443/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");

(IE https to port 8443)

It fails with:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to
127.0.0.1:8080 (Connection refused) in
https://tomcat_host:8443/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc on line 990

Fatal error: Uncaught Could not connect to the JEE server
127.0.0.1:8080. Please start it. Error message: Connection refused (111)
thrown in https://tomcat_host:8443/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc on line 985

Is there anything I can do to get this working over SSL on the php_host
server?


I have tried setting

	define ("JAVA_HOSTS", "tomcat_host:8443");

but got a different set of errors:

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in
https://tomcat_host:8443/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc on line 1056

Notice: Undefined index: content_length in
https://tomcat_host:8443/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc on line 1024

Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than
0 in https://tomcat_host:8443/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc on line 1025

Fatal error: in https://tomcat_host:8443/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc on
line 866

(Which seems to imply its not speaking SSL)


I know I could install stunnel to encrypt the communication but would
rather not unless I really have to.

Installing tomcat on the php_host is not an option as when this is all
working it will be deployed across dozens of similiar servers, all very
slimmed down and potentially running as OpenVZ containers as well.

Thanks for any assistance.

Regards

Ian
