Ant: [Php-java-bridge-users] PhpJavaServlet using tunneling instead of CGI?

[Jost B. <jos...@ya...>]

Hi Kevin,

CGI is only used when the controller servlet
(PhpJavaServlet) receives a get or post request.

Usually apache listens on the http standard port :80
and php instances are allocated from the apache pool.
The php instances in turn connect to the :8080 backend
using put requests. mod_jk becomes obsolete if one
doesn't have .jsp files anymore.

Okay.

Okay.

The doGet invokes the cgi machinery, yes.  It is there
to help during development, where it is difficult to
work with two servers.

For a production system, however, it is assumed that
all requests go through the standard http port and
that a native http server listens on this port. -- The
reason is that java cannot drop privileges, so it is
not possible to connect a java servlet engine to port
80.

Just use 

  http://localhost/JavaBridge/test.php

instead of

  http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/test.php
