[Php-java-bridge-users] Fwd: My first attempt at using PHP/Java Bridge

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

Hi,

I'm working on porting an application to PHP that relies on some Java
functionality.  I've decided to use the PHP/Java Bridge.

Here is what I've got in PHP.  Summary: it takes in two strings, xml
and xsl, and should return the result of applying the xsl transform on
the xml.

So far, so good!  I originally was having trouble getting the result
back out into a PHP string variable, but there was just a simple typo
in the code,  So my post is turning into a slightly different
question.

Could someone familiar with the PHP/Java bridge look over my code and
let me know if it looks like I've got the "right idea"  I'm concerned
about performance, and the fact that the variables $xml and $xsl could
potentially be very large (megabytes of text)

Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.  This is new ground
for me, and I want to make sure I'm not making any major mistakes.

------

function saxon($xml,$xsl){

    require_once("http://localhost:8080/JavaBridgeTemplate5442/java/Java.inc");

        $System = java("java.lang.System");
    $System->setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
"net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");

    $TransformerFactory = java("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory");
    $tFactory           = $TransformerFactory->newInstance();

    $xmlString = new Java("java.lang.String", $xml);
    $xslString = new Java("java.lang.String", $xsl);
    $xmlStringReader = new Java("java.io.StringReader", $xmlString);
    $xslStringReader = new Java("java.io.StringReader", $xslString);

    $xmlStreamSource = new
Java("javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource", $xmlStringReader);
    $xslStreamSource = new
Java("javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource", $xslStringReader);

    $transformer     = $tFactory->newTransformer($xslStreamSource);

    $outputStringWriter = new Java("java.io.StringWriter");
    $outputStreamResult = new
Java("javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult",$outputStringWriter);

    $transformer->transform($xmlStreamSource,$outputStreamResult);


    $outputString = new Java("java.lang.String");
    $outputString = $outputStringWriter->toString();

    return (java_values($outputString));

}
