PHP/Java bridge problem

I am using tomcat 6 on windows. Here is the code I am testing.

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.Closeable;
import java.io.StringReader;

import javax.script.Invocable;
import javax.script.ScriptEngine;
import javax.script.ScriptEngineManager;


/**
* Create and run THREAD_COUNT PHP threads, concurrently accessing a
* shared resource.
*
* Create 5 script engines, passing each a shared resource allocated
* from Java. Each script engine has to implement Runnable.
*
* Java accesses the Runnable script engine using
* scriptEngine.getInterface() and calls thread.start() to invoke each
* PHP Runnable implementations concurrently.
*/
class PhpThreads {

    public static final String runnable = new String("<?php\n" +
            "function run() {\n" +
            " $out = java_context()->getAttribute('sharedResource', 100);\n" +
            " $nr = (string)java_context()->getAttribute('nr', 100);\n" +
            " echo \"started thread: $nr\n\";\n" +
            " for($i=0; $i<100; $i++) {\n" +
            "  $out->write(ord($nr));\n" +
            "  java('java.lang.Thread')->sleep(1);\n" +
            " }\n" +
            "}\n" +
            "?>\n");


                static final int THREAD_COUNT = 5;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
    Thread threads[] = new Thread[THREAD_COUNT];
    ScriptEngine engines[] = new ScriptEngine[THREAD_COUNT];
    ByteArrayOutputStream sharedResource = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    StringReader runnableReader = new StringReader(runnable);

    // create THREAD_COUNT PHP threads
    for (int i=0; i<THREAD_COUNT; i++) {
        engines[i] = manager.getEngineByName("php-invocable");
        if (engines[i] == null)
        throw new NullPointerException ("php script engine not found");

        engines[i].put("nr", new Integer(i+1));
        engines[i].put("sharedResource", sharedResource);

        engines[i].eval(runnableReader);
        runnableReader.reset();

        // cast the whole script to Runnable; note also getInterface(specificClosure, type)
        Runnable r = (Runnable) ((Invocable)engines[i]).getInterface(Runnable.class);
        threads[i] = new Thread(r);
    }

    // run the THREAD_COUNT PHP threads
    for (int i=0; i<THREAD_COUNT; i++) {
        threads[i].start();
    }

    // wait for the THREAD_COUNT PHP threads to finish
    for (int i=0; i<THREAD_COUNT; i++) {
        threads[i].join();
        ((Closeable)engines[i]).close();
    }

    // print the output generated by the THREAD_COUNT concurrent threads
    String result = sharedResource.toString();
    System.out.println(result);

    // Check result
    Object res=manager.getEngineByName("php").eval(
        "<?php " +
        "exit((int)('10011002100310041005'!=" +
        "@system(\"echo -n "+result+"|sed 's/./&\\\n/g'|sort|uniq -c|tr -d ' \\\n'\")));" +
        "?>");

    System.exit(((Number)res).intValue());
    }
}

I have added all the libraries. When I run the file I get the following error -

run:

What am I missing?

Just add this to your command line:

-Dphp.java.bridge.php_exec=/usr/bin/php

Problem solved!

copy the correct VERSION of the PHP of php5ts.dll and php-cgi.exe to "WEB-INF\cgi\amd64-windows" directory. then restart Tomcat. good luck.

...php-cgi...The system cannot find the file specified

I'm guessing that manager.getEngineByName("php-invocable") should return a wrapper around a system call to run PHP - but that wrapper doesn't know where to find the PHP executable.

A quick glance at the website for the PHP/Java bridge, and I infer that the path is hard coded in the Java - "For further information please see the INSTALL.J2EE file from the documentation download"

The Javadoc is decidedly vague on the topic.

You need to specifically make the -cgi version of PHP at compile time, assuming you've done that, and it is called php-cgi, then as a quick hack you could perpper your filesystem with links named "php-cgi" (its probably expected to be in /bin, /usr/bin/, /usr/local/bin, or the Java may be smart enough to check $PATH)

C.

when you get error like

please specify the path for the php installation in your environment variable.
