[Php-java-bridge-users] Oracle Application Server problem

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

Hi,

I'm working on an application that we took over from some other company, and
it's based on Oracle Application Server (on Windows 2003 Server). In
general, it's a mess in many ways, and on top of that we don't have a lot of
experience in Java/J2EE, so we're trying to combine PHP with the existing
codebase in order to leverage our PHP know-how.
So, to make a long story short, we've managed to successfully install the
PHP-Java Bridge v.3.2.1 with PHP 5.1.6 and the Oracle HTTP server (Apache
1.3) to the point where we can see the "java status" parameter as "running".
However, all our tests immediately return the following error:

Fatal error: php_mod_java(98): Call object is null: The connection to the
current back end doesn't exist anymore; probably the current back end has
been restarted w/o restarting the front end. in d:\www\javatest01.php on
line 8

We assume this has to do with connecting to the wrong host/port, but we are
at a loss in finding the right port. Attached is the report of ports in use
by the Oracle Application Server. The "running" status cannot be obtained
from 127.0.0.1:8888 or 127.0.0.1:7777. It usually works with ports 3701-4,
but then we always get the error above. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
