About

It is possible to create php java bridge as form of proxy using pjb. With a pjb bridge you may call Java from PHP or PHP from Java, in either direction.

Building the PHP / Java bridge

Howto build and install the PHP / Java bridge on Debian

Download php-java-bridge

wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge_3.0.8.tar.bz2

Decompress the file

tar xvjf php-java-bridge_3.0.4.tar.bz2

Go to the directory

cd php-java-bridge-3.0.4

Execute (In order to use this you'll need to have the php4-dev package installed)

phpize
 

After, execute (Be sure to set this to the path where your jdk is installed)

./configure --with-java=/opt/j2sdk1.5-sun

If the ./configure command fails because the automake version is < 1.6 try this :

apt-get install automake1.6

update-alternatives --config automake

Select version 1.6 of automake in the update-alternatives dialog and then try to run ./configure again

Now we just need to compile and install, this is done by:

make
make install-modules

Add this line to php.ini in order to enabled the PHP/Java bridge extension:

extension=java.so
