[Php-java-bridge-users] Connect to remote server using HTTP connection

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

Hello,

I'm using php-java-bridge 4.1.2 (downloaded the binary release).
Then I copied both PhpJavaServlet.jar and php_servlet.jar to the lib
directory in my J2EE WAR, I also copied the PHP resources from the /java
directory (for the pure PHP implementation). I'm using JBoss 4.0.4 as
application server together with Java 1.5_11. I modified my web.xml to
expose the PhpJavaServlet.

This all works really great and very fast using PHP4 with the (legacy)
java.so module and also with PHP5 and the pure PHP implementation.

But now I want to connect to the same PhpJavaServlet from my local
computer to this remote server (for testing purposes). How do I enable
HTTP tunneling? As far as my knowledge goes, I cannot use sockets to a
remote server.

I tried to use "promiscuous" and also messed around with
"php.java.bridge.no_pipe_server", but this didn't work out. Looking at
the source code I also cannot tell when HTTP tunneling is used. It
should call the method named "handleHttpConnection()", but it is never
called.


My question, is it possible to connect to my remote server from my local
computer? (I do not care about the speed, just for testing).

Any ideas?

if you switch off both, the Pipe- and the
SocketContextServer, the C implementation will
continue to send HTTP PUT requests.

However, this path is quite old. It still works, but
it is slow. Isn't it possible to use standard web
services to access a remote service?

Thank you for your answer.

We have a Java J2EE backend and in front of it we use a PHP based CMS.
We used to use simple HTTP requests to transfer the HTML from our
backend to the PHP frontend (both on the same server). After some tests
with the PHP-Java bridge it was clear that this solution is much faster.

As I understand the HTTP tunnel is deprecated and in the future may even
stop working in the development version.

For testing the frontend on a local computer, I have created a mockup,
so the problem has been solved already.
