Hi Chris, Great ! If you intend to rely on it I would really consider few things. Depending on your needs it's always good to consider developping API (rest/microservices/json..) between Java and PHP first. This way you can really fine-tune your integrations. Of course this requires a fixed contract and development on both sides. On the other hand if you are looking to use directly Java libs, the bridge is the way to go ! *Here's some feedbacks on my experience (limited to call Java from PHP)* 1. The Bridge is rock solid. Stable and performant (experience with Tomcat 7/8) 2. Don't use the original client 'Java.inc' and use https://github.com/ belgattitude/soluble-japha instead (HHVM and PHP7 supported + PSR4 + fixes). 3. Don't refer too much on obsolete doc. Whatever you read, the bridge is running perfectly with modern ecosystem (JDK8, servlet 3.0, Tomcat8...). Really have a look to https://github.com/belgattitude/pjb-starter-gradle/ *Some drawbacks* 1. If you intend to use java closure from php... you'll need to figure out how... :) Check first 2. Performance, try to limit things like making 100000 method calls (iterating over a resultset)... Prefer buffering on the server and get everything at once. See https://github.com/belgattitude/php-java-bridge/blob/master/README#L481 3. Timezone differences.... Please be aware of them, see https://github.com/belgattitude/soluble-japha/blob/master/doc/language_basics.md#working-with-dates when if you rely on dates. 4. Be aware of security implications of running a bridge (should be localhost only or secured access). Many options exists, but easily doable. 5. Logging/Debugging (so far not problem, but needs to be documented better - I used to watch tomcat log files regularly, not efficient when developping) So If you're not afraid, your help is greatly appreciated. I prepared some ideas to share, see the link below: https://github.com/belgattitude/php-java-bridge/issues/6 I'm not really Java developer (more and more on typescript/react/frontend projects those days) so I'm really enjoying sharing. Can be a start for to something... I'll PM you soon, so we can get in contact.
