[Tamas S. <Tam...@gm...>]

first of all thx for your quick response... and sry for using the forums
even if they were closed allready (but i didnt see any signs for the forums
being closed).

well for setting up the bridge i used the ibm java environment
(IBMJava2-SDK-142.tgz) because the sun java kit didnt work so well (actually
i had a failure during compiling the bridge so i decided to give the ibm
java a try and it worked flawlessly). is it possible that the ibm java
doesnt contain this javax/servlet/ServletContext? is this delivered in the
standart sdk packages? also is it more likely available in the sun or ibm
java? or do i have to grab them seperated? 

to be honest i really dont know much about the creation of the
ProvisoFactory since it was written by someone else and they handed over to
me with the task to find a way to establish a stable and fast communication
from php to java. searching the web i found the php-java bridge and decided
to give it a try. well in the beginning evrything worked fine (as i told
before i could use all the testfiles which came with the bridge) but when it
comes to use these proviso classes (librarys) nothing works the way it
should.

so the basic workaround for my problem would be to make available the
library again. another question is: do i have to enable servlets on the
bridge or am just getting confused by the "javax/servlet/ServletContext"
thing? also when i search the files you mentioned and the package isnt
available what to do? set up the bridge with a new java (i could try sun's
java) or do i just download those missing packages/libraries and make them
available in the classpath?

thx in advance and i really apreciate the help you are offering

ps: also i wanted to say how great your work is! how did this project start?
did you simply miss php/java compatibility and decided to build your own
bridge?

Hi,

> reffering to wasnt found 
 
No, the exception says that the class was found.  
 
The exception is an internal exception which reflects a problem with the way
how java loads libraries: It appears when a procedure application failes,
either the constructor, initializers or the call of a procedure. 
 
The above is the call of the login procedure, which failed because the JIT
has found an open reference to a library or library version which was
available during creation of the ProvisoFactory but which has been removed
since then. 
 
The missing class can be found either in the optional j2ee.jar, servlet.jar
or other libraries. Please note that the version may be important, so please
check with the person who compiled ProvisoFactory. 
 
Another thing is possible. Java library vendors generally know this problem
and compile their java libraries so that the critical paths do not contain
references to libraries that customers might not have. But this is dangerous
because one cannot check all paths during the release tests. It may well be
that the vendor who shipped the library has made a mistake.

hi there, 
 
im kinda new to this whole stuff but i allready figured out how to set up
the bridge and how to load my own classes (but my knowledge is very limited
in php aswell as in java). my proble is that i need to set up a server which
should authenicate the clients for the whole intranet. basically the
authentication is done with custom java classes which should send back a
ticket (in form of a cookie) to the client. now after i set up the bridge i
wanted to do some tests... first off all i used the tests supplied with the
bridge and they all worked fine. then i tried to write some basic php and
java codes to test it out further (basically i did what was done in the in
the array example but i wrote it myself). all of these tests went fine. but
now im trying to do some basic stuff with the classes provided for the user
athentication and i get an error like this: 
 
java.lang.Exception: Invoke failed: [class
at.wave.proviso10.ProvisoFactory]->login. Cause:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/ServletContext 
 
basically i understand that the class i was reffering to wasnt found but
why? javax/servlet/ServletContext should come with the basic java sdk
shoudnt it? is this something i have to enable myself or do i have to
configure the bridge for it? 
 
the bridge is running on a redhat fedora core 3 with an apache (but
basically this info shouldnt be necesarry as the bridge is running well with
the tests supplied with the bridge).  
 
any help would be apreciated (sry for my bad english)
