Howto PHP / Java bridge on Debian

Updated 20. Marts 2007

The PHP / Java Bridge makes it possible to run use java objects within your PHP code. For example; let’s say you have a jar-file containing some functionality you may want to use in a PHP application.

To use this you must have a Java installed – either the latest version of Java (JDK) or a black hawk version installed.

Get the source code php-java-bridge_3.0.4.tar.bz2 from the PHP / Java bridge website and unpack it with
wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/php-java-bridge/php-java-bridge_3.0.8.tar.bz2
tar xvjf php-java-bridge_3.0.4.tar.bz2
cd php-java-bridge-3.0.4
phpize - in order to use this you'll need to have the php5-dev package installed
./configure --with-java=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun - be sure to set this to the path where the Java installation is located

If the ./configure command fails because the automake version is less than 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

Hello,

It works like a charm.

The latest release of php/Java bridge is now 3.2.1.

It can be downloaded from sourceforge using the url:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117793

It seems like the php/Java bridge is now in version 4.0.1 and also features debian packages by default.

Thanks a lot for these instructions! They were really helpful.

The only problem I faced was enabling the PHP/Java bridge extension: In the end, I created a java.ini file in (on my machine) the /etc/php5/conf.d directory and added the following lines:

extension=java.so
[java]

After restarting my apache, it worked.

I have a Apache installation with PHP but without Tomcat.I wish to call Java code from PHP. Will I need to first install the Tomcat Server before I install the bridge?

@Daisy:

You don’t *need* Tomcat, you can use the mini server built in phpjavabridge.
It does the minimum required…
(but Tomcat does a much better job, especialy regarding error handling)

To do so, configure java.ini like this:

java.hosts = 127.0.0.1:8080
java.servlet = On

I’m trying to compile php-java-bridge-5.4.4.2 on ubuntu 9.04 amd64, using java-6-sun-1.6.0.13.

Make terminates with something like this:

make[1]: *** [JavaBridge.jar] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `~/php-java-bridge-5.4.4.2/server’
make: *** [~/php-java-bridge-5.4.4.2/modules/stamp] Error 2

Does anyone had more luck / some suggestions ?
Or maybe just some ideas how i can further debug ? (i’m not a makefile pro)

PS: i used to use the binary packages provided for debian/i386 which worked like a charm, but there’s no amd64 version…

@Daisy:

I forgot to say that you need to manualy start the servlet via a command like:

java -jar /usr/lib/php5/20060613*/JavaBridge.jar SERVLET:8080 3 /var/log/php-java-bridge.log

@myself:

I was able to compile a amd64 deb package using the debian sources on sourceforge.

Hi.

I’ve got all working just by starting the “mini-server”:

java -jar JavaBridge.jar SERVLET_LOCAL:8080

and running such PHP-script from console:

So, I have a question – why do I need java.so? Because all work fine without this extension.
