Thanks Hermod!

That is exciting news for me, as I kept reading about tweaks and errors wrt
to running Joomla on top of Caucho.com's Quercus. See ie
http://forum.caucho.com/showthread.php?t=28700
including others that talk about having to tweak session.php to make it
work http://forum.caucho.com/showthread.php?t=1453

I then asked about running Joomla 1.7 on top of Quercus on the Quercus
mailing list and got no reply. That wasn't very encouraging either. :)

The encouraging news is that with the PHP-Java bridge one is actually
running the real PHP, not a "separate, compatible php implementation
written in Java". That should minimize problems.

How does the auto-update feature of Joomla work, at least in your
experience?.

My idea is to run Joomla with a commercial News Site template (like
iJoomla), on top of Caucho Resin.
I'd like to avoid running Apache whenever possible, and instead use a
pure-Java web server like Resin.

Thanks for your positive report. If this works without major problems, this
solution using php-java bridge should be promoted more!. I've seen lots of
questions from users who want to run Joomla on a Java app server, or who
ask "is there a Joomla version written in Java".  Well, I think a J2EE
server and Joomla's extensions and templates ecosystems is for now the best
of both worlds... :)
