[Php-java-bridge-users] Weblogic to PHP help needed

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

Good Day,

I'm trying to utilize an existing suite of PHP tools to access Active Directory, that will be called by a Weblogic Server running on a separate piece of hardware.  (separate from the PHP application server)  The PHP server will be accessed by multiple customers running Weblogic on separate pieces of hardware....the goal is one central Active Directory code toolbox running PHP.

The code is called as part of the login steps.  The user accesses a Flex login page running on a Weblogic server (8.1.3).  The code will need to run some Java that will access the remote PHP code, that will return an array of attributes related to password expiration date, account status, email address, ldap bind failure/success, etc.

We've been working for a day or two on this, and haven't had any of success.  Also haven't been able to find many examples of this scenario...it looks like most people want to run Java from within PHP...are needs are actually the opposite.

Also, since the version of Weblogic we have to use is rather old, (we have to run Java 1.4 to make it work with other tools), this also presents some challenges.

I'm able to do this using AMFPHP and a Remote Object definition within the Flex code, but I can't allow the browser client to talk directly to the PHP server...the server can't be internet facing...only the Weblogic server.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...thank you in advance!
