[Php-java-bridge-users] PHP/Java Bridge 2.0.8 available

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

The version 2.0.8 of the PHP/Java Bridge is now
available.

The binary for RedHat Enterprise Linux, RedHat Fedora
 1, 2 and 3 (PHP4):
   
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge-2.0.8-1.RHEL.i386.rpm?download
 
  
The binary for RedHat Fedora 4 (PHP5):
   
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge-2.0.8-1.FC4.i386.rpm?download
  

Oracle 10g, IBM WebSphere 6, Tomcat backend:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge.j2ee_2.0.8.zip?download


Source:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge_2.0.8.tar.bz2?download



The following features were added:

* JSP, PHP session sharing

* Oracle 10g AS and WebSphere 6 AS support

* GUI support

* java_closure(): Calling PHP from java, see the
examples/XML example.


Changes:

Changes since 2.0.8RC4

* 1286136 (Bridge crashing on FC4 (under GNU Java))

* 1291175 (servlet receives invalid context)


Changes since 2.0.8RC3

* 1291191 (CGIServlet cannot handle POST requests)

* 1286643 (widgetTest fails)

* 1283154 (ISession documentation missing)

* A bug which caused a crash in the XML parser has
been fixed.  The XML parser (parser.c) was not able to
parse <c></c> correctly. This bug appeared when the
parser had to parse a HTML error message from tomcat.
The upper level now displays a protocol error in this
case.

* The "broken gcc" warning has been changed.

Changes since 2.0.8RC2

* 1288025 (session sharing not working)

* 1286139 (compilation problems on FC4)

* 1283154 (ISession documentation added)

* It is no longer possible to shut down the local
channel by sending invalid bytes

* When the local channel is available, the HTTP tunnel
accepts only one statement and then uses the local
channel, so it is no longer possible to remote control
the java bridge backend by faking client requests.

* On FC4 a Security Enhanced Linux policy was added
which allows the bridge to create
/var/log/php-java-bridge.log. This was missing in
previous releases.

Changes since 2.0.8RC1

The following bugs were fixed:

* 1283148 (null values in session)

* 1281189 (WinNT and above need system _env variable):
Upon startup the code checks if c:/winnt or c:/windows
exists. If both exist, c:/windows is used.  After that
we examine the environment variable SystemDir, then
servlet config "Windows.SystemDir". In any case, if
the VM was called with -DWindows.SystemDir=val, we use
that value. Same tests on Unix/Linux, too (this might
make sense when the user run a windows emulation
layer, such as "Wine".


Changes since 2.0.8RC

The following bugs were fixed:

* 1281189 (WinNT and above need system _env variable)

* 1276889 (XML example not working)

* 1275899 (negative inexact numbers)

* 1274526, 1202896 (storing java values into
$_SESSION)


Changes since 2.0.8pre

* Local channel re-directs work correctly now.  This
means that, when deployed in Apache/Tomcat, Apache/PHP
and the PHP/Java Bridge 2.0.8 deliver content more
than 50 times faster than version 2.0.7 and about 30%
faster than tomcat's own engine via Apache/mod_jk:

time for i in `seq 200`; do wget -o/dev/null
-O/dev/null
http://localhost:8000/JavaBridge/sessionSharing.jsp;
done

real    0m5.971s
user    0m1.090s
sys     0m0.420s

time for i in `seq 200`; do wget -o/dev/null
-O/dev/null
http://localhost:8000/JavaBridge/sessionSharing.php;
done

real    0m4.351s
user    0m1.140s
sys     0m0.530s

(RHEL3, kernel 2.4.21 on a 1.5GHZ amd32, latest
versions of PHP/Java Bridge, Tomcat/mod_jk and Apache.

* On windows: Starting the backend automatically
should work correctly now when the path ends with a
slash.

* The CGI servlet has been rewritten and it delivers
content much faster now.  However, running PHP as a
CGI from tomcat is not recommended.  Please use Apache
and the mod_jk connector instead of connecting tomcat
directly to the internet. This is much faster and more
secure.

* Several other bugfixes, please see changelog.

Ant: RE: Ant: [Php-java-bridge-users] Problem compiling version 2.0.7 on RedHat 9

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

Hi,

[please excuse the delay]

the java.so for RH9/php4.4 is available at:

http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/php-java-bridge_2.0.8-RH9-php4.4.tar

It contains java.so (version 2.0.8) and JavaBridge.jar
(version 2.0.8).  Please copy the java.so into the
extension directory of you php 4.4 installation and
please make sure that the php executable /usr/bin/php
is indeed the php4.4 cgi binary.


To compile the php-java-bridge on RH9, please follow
the "Installation from source" instructions in the
INSTALL document. binary or source RPM's cannot be
used on RH9, this rpm distribution is too old, sorry.

In case you don't want to install autoconf 2.57,
automake 1.6.3 and libtool 1.4.3, please see the
"Compiling the bridge without autoconf" section.


Regards,
Jost Boekemeier

[Php-java-bridge-users] Primitive types

[SQUILLACE M. <msq...@so...>]

Hi,
=20
I am investigating php-java-bridge v.2.0.7 in order to assess its
capability to integrate PHP with "Enterprise" (read expensive) products
that only offer Java bindings, and elected to start by trying to connect
PHP 5.0.3 to WebSphere MQ on a Linux RHEL3 platform.
=20
I am NOT a Java programmer, and am facing several hurdles - gaining
experience as I overcome them; but there are many things I still don't
understand so maybe my questions are silly.
=20
When installing the client Java bindings, WebSphere puts them in
/opt/mqm/java/lib and I decided to "ln -s" all the jar files to
/usr/share/java ; now the bridge finds them easily without needing a
java_require() [I can't say I like this solution ... one would need to
hunt down the libraries of any product installed and make symbolic links
for all of them].
=20
Following the manual I wrote a first PHP program that should put a
message in a queue and immediately retrieve it.
=20
When I execute the script tough, after connecting to the Queue Manager
it needs to invoke the method=20
accessQueue(java.lang.String,int) and whatever I try I keep getting an
exception along the lines:
=20
Fatal error: Uncaught [class java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception:
Invoke failed: [class com.ibm.mq.MQQueueManager]->accessQueue(class
java.lang.String, class java.lang.Long). Cause:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.ClassCastException@74c3aa]
=20
Apparently the bridge keeps converting the second argument (an integer)
to java.lang.Long while the method mandates an int.
=20
Is there a way to overcome this problem?
=20
Thank you
Massimo

Ant: RE: Ant: [Php-java-bridge-users] Problem compiling version 2.0.7 on RedHat 9

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

Hi Jim,

> RH 9.0
> PHP 4.4.0

Well, PHP4.4 has a different ABI than 4.3.2, the
java.so must be compiled against this ABI. 

So I guess the only remaining problem is that we
cannot compile the bridge on RH9 because the autotools
are too old.

It is possible to compile the code without them, the
windows binary is cross-compiled on a linux machine
this way. The compile/link command used to create the
windows .dll is:

# compile source
i386-pc-mingw32-gcc -w -I../include -I.
-I../php-5.0.3/ -I../php-5.0.3/main -I../php-5
.0.3/Zend -I../php-5.0.3/TSRM \
-D"TSRM_EXPORTS" -D"LIBZEND_EXPORTS" -D"ZTS" -D"_MBCS"
\
-DCOMPILE_DL_JAVA -DCFG_JAVA_SOCKET_INET
-DEXTENSION_DIR=\"$EXTENSION_DIR\" \         
-c bind.c client.c init_cfg.c java_bridge.c java.c
parser.c protocol.c                
                                                      
# link php-java.dll                          
i386-pc-mingw32-dllwrap --enable-stdcall-fixup
--export-all-symbols -k  -o../php5/php_
java.dll  *.o -L../lib -lphp5ts -lws2_32              
                               

The command to build the linux .so should look
similar.
I will test this and send you the instruction(s).


Regards,
Jost Boekemeier

[Jim D. <jd...@ho...>]

Jost,

I tried you're directions below for extracting the "java.so" and 
"JavaBridge.jar" from RPM and copying them into the PHP extension 
folder(/usr/local/lib/php/ext).

  I get this error returned to the browser,

#!/usr/bin/php Please permanently activate the extension. Loading java 
extension now... java extension not installed.

I can't run test.php from a command line either, it can't load the java.so 
with similar error messages.

I added the java.ini lines to the php.ini.  PHP is running fine.

The .so and .war file are located in  - usr/local/lib/php/ext

[Php-java-bridge-users] War and .SO install

[Jim D. <jd...@ho...>]

I deployed the JavaBridge.war  to a Tomcat/Apache server and when I browse 
the test page,
numberguess.php, I get the following error message in the returned web page,

java extension not installed.

PHP is up and running OK and so are JSP pages.

Where can I find a copy of the java.so?

I can't it install it from the RPM because Red Hat 9.0 doesn't have a RPM 
for PHP 4.4, so I had to build and install PHP 4.0.  By doing that when I go 
to install the java-bridge in tells me it can find a dependcy package php 
4.3.*, even though PHP 4.0 is installed.

How can I tell the bridge RPM install where to find the latest PHP install?
OR
How can I get this build to work?
          phpize &&  ./configure --with-java=/opt/IBMJava2-14 \   
--disable-servlet

I get an the following error message when trying to build with the above 
line,
cp: cannot stat 'acinclude.m4' : No such file or directory

Thanks,
Jim

4.4.0 - at least you can always ask new users to get latest version of
PHP to avoid bugs introduced earlier. I've tried to compile PHP myself
from CVS, but failed. And also I don't use any web-server - I want to
try mix of Java and PHP in standalone application.

Yes, sometimes. It will be nice if this application could detect

I like things like unzip and run. Like any lazy user I hate doing

Especially test-cases. =)

README is very long and contains a lot of information. Read 25k just
to find command line options (especially if there are not any) is a
waste of time. I thought it should be good for an application to

The bridge is not running under Tomcat or Apache - it is supposed

windows.

I don't think it is easy, esp. for me. =) Probably It should be
easier to create a proxy Java object, which will call invokable
PHP functions where it needed. The problem is that I still unsure
if I've got the whole picture of this bridge and how to plug it
into Java application correctly.

Hi Peter,

[please excuse the delay]


> Still I think I haven't noticed this before:

Well, your GCC installation uses two different static
libraries for m32/64 but only one dynamic library. 
Depending on the processor architecture this may or
may not be a problem.  I have changed the message in
2.0.8RC5.

> know if it would work with gcc-4.0.

gcc4 should be able to compile the source. (other
distributions such as RedHat use gcc4 for a long time
now, so I don't think that this is an issue).

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

Hi William,

[please excuse the delay]

to the best of my knowledge this problem should be
fixed in version 2.0.8RC5. Please see the updated
INSTALL document for details.

Furthermore it should be possible to use the binary
RPM:

* Extract the "java.so" and "JavaBridge.jar" from the
binary RPM with the command:

  rpm2cpio php-java-bridge*.rpm | cpio -iduv

* Install PHP 4.3.2 or above and copy the "java.so"
and "JavaBridge.jar" into its extension folder.

* run the test.php with: php test.php

Hi,

> Fatal error: Uncaught

In PHP4 the exception would be a warning which could
be suppressed with @

Example:

$null = @new java("java.lang.String", null);
$ex = java_last_exception_get();
echo "val: $null, ex: $ex\n";

The above code would display "val: , Object" in PHP4.

The above exception message ("Uncaught...") makes me
believe that you already use PHP5 or above.

[Php-java-bridge-users] Catch exceptions in PHP4

[Michael E. <els...@gm...>]

First of all, thanks for his cool extension. I got it running within 5
minutes, and it works like a charm.

Except for one issue: I'm using it to run Lucene with PHP 4. Now, in certain
cases Lucene throws an exception, for example when the query parser can't
handle an invalid query. Then I get a message like

Fatal error: Uncaught [o(Exception):"java.lang.Exception: Invoke failed:
[o(QueryParser):"org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser@1f8c6df"]->parse(
(java.lang.String)o(String):"AND "). Cause:
org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Encountered "AND" at line 1,
column 0. Was expecting one of:  ... "+" ... "-" ... "(" ...  ...  ...  ...
... "[" ... "{" ...  ... "] thrown in {/path/name} on line 37

I know there is java_last_exception_get(), but the fatal error occurs on
line 37, which is exactly where I call the (java) query parser, and then
script execution is terminated.

So, is there anyway to handle those cases gracefully (except for upgrading
to PHP 5)?

Thank you,

Michael

Ant: [Php-java-bridge-users] problem with Post

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

Hi Bharath,

you're right. The CGIServlet cannot handle post
requests. The code is there, but it seems that nobody
has tested this until now.

Please excuse the inconvenience, I'll fix this asap. 
(The CGIServlet was copied from tomcat, which was
probably a mistake...)

Please see PR#1291191

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

Hi Bharath,

first of all thank you very much for this bug report.

Assuming that phpinfo shows that 

X_JAVABRIDGE_OVERRIDE_HOSTS  127.0.0.1:9980  
X_JAVABRIDGE_CONTEXT  1  

the null pointer means that the php_java.dll was not
able to send back the X_JAVABRIDGE_CONTEXT and that
the servlet has received the invalid context 0.

I could not reproduce this problem, but I have created
a ticket (#1291175) for this NP exception. Please see 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1291175&group_id=117793&atid=679233

Please attach the values for 
X_JAVABRIDGE_OVERRIDE_HOSTS  and X_JAVABRIDGE_CONTEXT
there and the method (POST or GET) there. If possible
please also attach the php_java.dll and the
php-cgi.exe you use.

Please also check why the bridge uses port# 9568 and
not 9567. Is it possible that you use an old version
of the php_java.dll with a recent version of the
JavaBridge.war backend? It might be that your
php_java.dll still sends a 32 bit value for the
context# and the backend always reads the 2 high
bytes, which are 0.



Regards,
Jost Boekemeier

Subject: problem with Post

I have the java bridge setup as a webapp on tomcat. When I post a
request to a php bridge in the webapp, for some reason the post
variables seem to be lost. Get variables are reaching correctly.

To reproduce the problem drop the attached php file to the JavaBridge
web app on tomcat.

A session value is hard coded into the script. A GET value is also
hardcoded. Enter text into the text box to simulate POST vars. The
ideal output should be similiar to the one below:=20

POST Vars=20
Array ( [username] =3D> whateveryoutypedin )=20

GET Vars=20
Array ( [temp] =3D> 1 )=20

Session Vars=20
Array ( [tempvar] =3D> temp value )

I have also added phpinfo() to see what we get. Don't see a _POST var
Any idea?

Ant: [Php-java-bridge-users] Problem integrating with Tomcat

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

Hi Shoan,

Are you sure that JavaBridge.war is installed and the
JavaBridge context is running?

If the context is not running, the client receives a
HTML error message which is similar to the bridge' XML
protocol, it crashes or hangs after that. (It is
difficult to catch this problem without validating the
response.)


What happens if you visit
http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge and then click on
test.php?

Jost Boekemeier

[Php-java-bridge-users] Problem integrating with Tomcat

[Shoan M. <lis...@sh...>]

Hi,

I installed the latest php-java bridge 2.0.8RC2 on windows XP. PHP  
5.0.3.3 CGI/Fast CGI. I have set the required system variables viz.  
JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, PATH, SystemDir, SystemRoot.

On executing test.bat after starting tomcat, I get an error window  
"CGI / FastCGI has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are  
sorry for the inconvenience."  The result.html seems to be abruptly  
terminated and there are no java variables in it. Although, there is  
a new section for java as shown below:

java support     Enabled
java bridge     2.0.8RC2
java.log_level     4
java.hosts     127.0.0.1:8080
java.servlet     On
java status     running
java server     127.0.0.1:8080


Please let me know if you need more information to troubleshoot the  
problem.

Peace,
Shoan.

Hi,

> 1. BUG. There is no PHP4 version of library in

The PHP/Java Bridge does not work on threaded HTTP
servers, e.g. IIS, unless ZTS is switched on. 
ZTS is experimental in all versions below PHP 5 and I
know of at least 3 incompatible ABI's since 4.3.2.

So the question is: which version of PHP4 on windows
should we support? Isn't it possible to compile your
own php4 binary as described in the README?


> 2. About 80% of windows distributive size is
> php5ts.dll
> Is it possible to make alternative -light version?

Yes, certainly. But is 3MB really too large these
days?


> 3. Patch to make test run even if unzipped not in
> c:/php5

Isn't it possible to adjust the php.ini accordingly?
One has to do this during the installation process
anyway. But the widgetTest.bat could be changed, of
course. 


> 4. JavaBridge.jar doesn't output any messages about
> it was started successfully

If you start it at log level 3 or above, as described
in the README, it will output to stdout or to a log
file.


> complete. Is there any ways to control running
> server?

"apachectl start" starts the apache server and the
bridge and "apachectl stop" stops both, please see the
README for details.  Since version 2.0.8 this works on
windows, too.

However, the recommended way to run the backend is to
start it via the php-java-bridge.service script (on
Unix) or via tomcat (on windows).

 
> 6. It would be good to have a ToC in readme.

Yes.


> Q1. Is it possible to extend Java class with PHP?
> I.e. make PHP class, inherited from one of Java?

The java_closure() call currently accepts only
interfaces, not classes. It would be nice if the Sun's
dynamic proxy would accept a class, but it doesn't. If
we want this, we must write our own proxy compiler.

Please see
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/classpath/classpath/java/lang/reflect/Proxy.java?rev=1.13.2.6&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Ant: Re: Ant: [Php-java-bridge-users] session sharing with JavaBridge

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

Hi Raphael,

all pages are generated through tomcat, only the
content within the page is generated by php. Since you
use the default value for java.servlet which is:

java.servlet="/JavaBridge/PhpJavaServlet"

tomcat has set the path value to the app directory,
which is "/JavaBridge".

The reason why the bridge component truncated the
/JavaBridge to / was to disallow session sharing for
PHP pages which are outside of the app directory. The
current test is wrong, of course: /JavaBridge !=
JavaBridge, so the bridge has incorrectly changed the
path.

You can remove the strncmp from line#198 in
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge/protocol.c?annotate=1.29

I have created a bug report for this, please see
PR1288025
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1288025&group_id=117793&atid=679233).

I will prepare a 2.0.8RC3 tomorrow evening.

Jost Boekemeier

5. Test could try to execute JavaBridge.jar and shut it down after

6. It would be good to have a ToC in readme.

I.e. make PHP class, inherited from one of Java?

I use Apache 2.0.53. Perhaps it is not clear: Both server use different
folders. The logical path is the same to avoid problems with the path
value in the cookie.

I wonder why it work in one direction but not the other way round. The
only difference is the path value. A workaround could be to set the path
always to / so the cookie is valid for the whole server. The port is imo
not relevant. Unfortunately I can not do it by myself because I don't
know if it is handled by the JavaBridge or in Tomcat.

We have a pretty complex application written in PHP which we need to
integrate into a Java Portal. The Portal runs in a OC4J and the PHP
application on an seperate Apache Instance on the same machine. Both
application have a own user management. If a user log in (the portal)
and then goes to the PHP application it need to know which user is it. I
thought the easiest way is to read the Java session and then map the
user data to the user of the PHP Application.

Raphael

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

Hi Raphael,

> http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/sessionSharing.jsp
> http://localhost/JavaBridge/sessionSharing.php

interesting.  I didn't think about this scenario. I
assume you use IIS, which cannot JkMount the tomcat
folder, and manually redirect all .jsp requests to a
different server.


> Is this a bug in JavaBridge 

If we want session sharing between different servers,
we must strip off the server part from PHP_SELF,
please see protocol.c, setResultWith_context()

This raises some security concerns, though.

So before I change the code to strip away the server
part, I would like to see a use case. Can you please
explain why do need this?
