Version 2.0.1 of the PHP/Java Bridge is available. The binary for RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 or 4 or Fedora Linux: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm?download The binary for Windows XP: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge_2.0.1-win32-php5.zip?download Source for the rest: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge_2.0.1.tar.bz2?download There are no user-visible changes from version 1.0.8 to version 2.0.1. However, the server part is now written in pure java. The new XML protocol is at least two times faster than the old binary protocol based on java JNI. Furthermore it is now possible to deploy the JavaBridge.jar into WebSphere or WebLogic and to invoke java enterprise applications from PHP scripts without writing SOAP or EJB interfaces. The XML protocol makes it easy to write bindings for perl, phython or other script languages. The examples/clients directory contains a sample written in the programming language Scheme which connects to the server, asks for System.getProperties() and transforms the resulting XML document via a XSL into a HTML table. Two experimental features were added: 1. session sharing, see tests.php5/session.php 2. the bridge can connect to a number of backends running the server part of the bridge. If one backend is unavailable, the bridge uses the next available backend. Please see the documentation for java.hosts for more information. |
