[Php-java-bridge-users] getResource() not working through the bridge

[<php...@li...>]

I have an application that stores configuration in a file called
config.properties.  It resides in a jar file underneath all of the package
dirs, with the rest of the class files.  The class that loads the config
options cannot find this resource when run through php-java-bridge.

 

All access is done through a central singleton called Toolbox.  I wrote some
code to circumvent the Toolbox code and try to load the resource manually,
via PHP and a separate Java application.  Here's what I get:

 

PHP

java_require("myjar.jar");

$Toolbox = new JavaClass("my.package.Toolbox");

$toolbox = $Toolbox->getInstance();

$class = $toolbox->getClass();

$r = $class->getResource("config.properties"); // null

$r = $class->getResource("/my/package/config.properties"); // null

$r = $class->getResource("my/package/config.properties"); // works, but see
below

 

Java

(myjar.jar in the classpath)

Toolbox toolbox = Toolbox.getInstance();

URL r;

r = toolbox.getClass().getResource("config.properties"); // works

r = toolbox.getClass().getResource("/my/package/config.properties"); //
works

r = toolbox.getClass().getResource("my/package/config.properties"); // null

 

myjar.jar contains

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

my/package/config.properties

my/package/Toolbox.class

my/package/<. other .class files .>

 

Based on my understanding, the Java code is exhibiting the correct behavior
in terms of which resource names work and which don't.  I don't think the
my/package/config.properties should work, but if it did work for both, I
could use it.  Unfortunately, this is a library which will be used both by
PHP scripts and a Java app.

 

Any idea what I'm missing here?
