Subject: Re: Tomcat Master for PHP Hosting?


Its called a 'web service'.

Make your tomcat application a web service. Use a php application to invoke it. Distribute the php applications to the php servers.

The php application has a user interface and generates the invocation request (probably as an xml file). Your 'MASTER' does the business logic and generates a reply, either as an xml file which you can use XSLT in php to render or some other form.

If you really wanted to get sophisticated you could write a tomcat application that generated most/all of the php against some specification and style the displayed pages with css.

There are, of course, numerous standards and implementations for web services. You could also make it an AJAX app if you wanted to.

Thanks Alan... yes, u right.
Little things like common login and shared sessions and that sort of thing would have to be sorted... But essentially even if we now had a functions like php_include_servlet('xyx')
it is at a generic level, a client talking to a server (web service).

Maybe there is something else really brilliant out there as well?
I'm fishing ;)
