Applies to:
Zend Server Editions with JAVA Bridge feature
Summary:
When utilizing JAVA runtime classes under PHP, for legacy software written in JAVA or for ad-hoc operations without a web service architecture between PHP and JAVA, you will probably need to use your own JAVA Classes.
Technical:
1. To add your individual JARs to the Zend JAVA Bridge runtime JVM, backup, then edit the CLASSPATH line on the following ini files:
Linux / Mac
/usr/local/zend/etc/watchdog-jb.ini
Windows
X:\PATH\TO\Zend\ZendServer\etc\java_bridge_server.ini
2. Once your JB CLASSPATH is modified with additional JARs, restart JAVA Bridge and check that it was started OK.
Linux / Mac
zendctl.sh restart-jb
Windows CMD
net stop ZendJavaBridge
net start ZendJavaBridge
Windows GUI
Start -> Run 'services.msc', locate the Zend JAVA Bridge service and restart
Conclusion:
After adding the application JARs and restarting JAVA Bridge service, you will be able to call your JAVA classes and methods from PHP scripts.
