Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] Sending request object to servlet with file_get_contents

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

Hi,

Don't. Please use requestDispatcher.include() instead.

You cannot re-connect to the current HTTP server. If you do, you might
run into a deadlock.

Imagine a HTTP server with a pool size of 1. If you invoke a script
t1.php and open a URLConnection back to http://localhost/t2.php, you
HTTP server will block until t1 terminates, which will never happen
because it waits for the HTTP server to deliver the content of t2.

Please either use the java_virtual() method or (if running in apache
or iis) the virtual() method, which bypass the HTTP servers
thread-/process pool.

This will solve your session problem, too. :)
