[Php-java-bridge-users] help :Access to own classes from php

[David J. <da...@jo...>]

Hi,

=20

I am new to java so please excuse me if I am asking a stupid question.
My problem is I cannot access my own java class files from php.

=20

My OS is Windows XP I have PHP 5.0.3 running on Apache 2.0.54 with
module mod_jk2.  I have deployed javabridge 2.0.7 under tomcat 5.5.9.,
using the excellent instructions at:

I can use built in classes such as getProperty('java.version') of
'java.lang.System', but the simplest application I can think of returns
the error "ClassNotFoundException: Class HelloPhp not found"

=20

The PHP code:

=20

<?php

java_set_library_path("%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\JavaBridge\WEB-INF\classe
s\php\java\servlet");

$useless =3D new Java_class('HelloPhp');

$result  =3D$useless->HelloPhp();

echo $result;

?>

=20

The HelloPhp.java class code:

=20

// HelloPHP.java test of JavaBridge

=20

public class HelloPhp

{

        public static String main()

        {

                return "Hello PHP" ;

        }

}

=20

I have tried placing the class HelloPhp.class file in every directory I
can think of, with/without corresponding java_set_library_path('..') but
to no avail.  The class works from a test calling program from the
system prompt, provided the CLASSPATH environmental variable is set.

=20

The reason for thinking the above path is the most likely candidate is I
have noticed that if I restart Tomcat I get once only the error:

=20

"ReferenceClass failed: new HelloPhp. Cause:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException] thrown" however refreshing the page
reverts to the above "ClassNotFoundException:"

Any help would be much appreciated.
