Well, "__sleep()" is a magical method which PHP calls to signal to any
object that it is going to be seralized soon ... it has nothing to do
with java at all. And since your $product does not have a __sleep
method, the invocation will fail. Serializing non-trivial objects in
php is not for the faint of heart, you should know exactly what
happens and when (for example the class definition needs to be loaded
when the session gets started, *before* the object gets deserialized).

Anyway, you can't just write a java object to your session. What
you'll have to do is to use a java session. Look up the php java
brigde docs at http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/about about
usage of java_get_session

You could use

session_start();
$java_session =3D java_get_session(session_id());
to get what you want ..
