[Php-java-bridge-users] Exception instead FatalError

[Marek L. <ma...@le...>]

Hello,
Today, when there is a problem with connection to Java, PHP throws fatal 
error like this:
[05-Oct-2005 18:38:29] PHP Fatal error:  php_mod_java(52) system error: 
Connection refused. Could not connect to server. Have you started the 
java backend (either a servlet engine, an application server, 
JavaBridge.jar or MonoBridge.exe) and set the java.socketname or 
java.hosts option?. in... on line 343

So, when you do $s = new Java("java.lang.String", "e") and connection 
cannot be obtained then fatal error will be thrown. It would be great to 
catch connection problems with try/catch - maybe it is worth to replace 
fatal errors with PHP exceptions ? With exceptions we could write:

try {
  $s = new Java("java.lang.String", "e");
}
catch (JavaException $exception) {
	print "Connection failed or object cannot be created.";
}

What do you think ?
