It doesn't do this if you php installation supports an
/etc/php.d/ directory. Please see the php --configure
help for details (php's configure, not the bridge
configure script).

The only thing the extension need is a

  extension=java.so 

entry.

Some older JDK may still read the CLASSPATH
environment variable. But since Apache discards all
environment variables and executes in a clean
environment you cannot pass it to the VM (if you want
to run the VM as a sub-component of Apache).


> getSystemResource method of the ClassLoader

It should find the resources in the standard Java
repository, which is /usr/share/java/ext or
/usr/java/packages/lib/ext.


> So, how should I indicate where those

Just modify the standard location using the
-Djava.ext.dirs=... option. If you want to pass this
option from Apache, use a wrapper script, please see
our FAQ for details.

BTW: Isn't that backwards? If you want to load
resources from a user dir, why don't you simply use
getResource() instead of getSystemResource()?
