Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] Configure bridge as a PHP Apache module or deploy into J2EE server?

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

Hi,

> Why do I definitely need Tomcat? 

you need a J2EE server or a servlet engine of your choice. 

You can write your own J2EE server or use the test "J2EE" server built into JavaBridge.jar and ship it as part of your product, but you're responsible for this. We guarantee that the PHP/Java Bridge application works correctly on any servlet engine or J2EE server inplementing the J2EE spec >= 1.3.

Please see the PHP documentation for details.

mod_jk disables PUT requests. Remove mod_jk. Nobody needs it, anyway. Use mod_proxy instead. Please see our FAQ ("j2ee cluster") for details.

It's a misunderstanding. If you really need mod_jk for tomcat on port 8080, start another tomcat on port 8081 and deploy the bridge into this one. Or configure mod_jk to not disable PUT requests.

Depends on your requirements. If you want to install a cluster, use mod_proxy/balancer within the apache front end and run PHP in the J2EE back end.

The SAPI doesn't matter.

Both modes, running PHP within Apache/IIS front-end or within a J2EE server back-end are supported.
