[Php-java-bridge-users] Standalone Java app under HTTPS

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

Hi everybody.

We are trying to access a Java class (standalone app) inside a PHP page.
This PHP page runs under a HTTPS secure section.

We followed the instructions on 
http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/standalone.php
Also we set the properties allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include to "On"
We tried:
     require_once("http://localhost:8085/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");
     require_once("https://localhost:8085/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");
     define("JAVA_HOSTS", "127.0.0.1:8085");

But nothing worked.
Is there any more configuration needed? Maybe some related to SSL on 
PHP...

Please some help on that. 

We would like also to avoid the use of URL on the requice_once call. Is 
that possible to refer the Java.inc inside the Jar file? Or there is 
another way?

Thank you.

Hi Fabio,

If you run PHP from a web server please read

  http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/webapp.php

instead. I will rename the "standalone" guide to "java-desktop-apps".

The simple back end container built into the standalone JavaBridge.jar
does work for web apps, but it isn't very efficient.


>      require_once("http://localhost:8085/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc");

If you have followed the guide, this should be port 8087.


> But nothing worked.

I am sorry, but I cannot reproduce this problem. Can you access the
Java.inc URL from your web browser or "wget"? Can you please log into
the host running the HTTP server and type:

  wget http://localhost:8085/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc

This command should fetch the Java.inc file. If that worked, your HTTP
server should be able to access the back end, unless it is running in
its own "sandbox".

Not directly, no. But it may be that your system administrator has
locked the HTTP server, so that it cannot access resources on this
computer.

You can copy Java.inc to some directory and adjust the JAVA_HOSTS
definition. For example

  require("http://host.com:8888/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc);

is equivalent to

  define ("JAVA_HOSTS", "host.com:8888");
  require("path/to/my/Java.inc");
