There are a number of reasons to run PHP from a J2EE server using Quercus (as Sean's work does), rather than deploying PHP itself;
1) PHP should be run on a single threaded webserver, as some of the C libraries used in PHP apps aren't thread safe. This means running Apache 1, or Apache 2 in prefork mode. CF (for example) is quite happy running in multithreaded configurations of Apache. 2) The PHP apps automatically get the benefit of datasource connection pooling, clustering and all the other good things J2EE provides. 3) The PHP apps can integrate with Java objects and code. http://quercus.caucho.com/ On 6/5/07, Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah, PHP integration just seems pointless. > > If you want to do PHP, use PHP. -- mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:280062 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
