Actually, the JVM is unloaded by php. In the latest CVS the code from destroy_jvm() has been removed that tried to dlclose() the JVM. This was done because it is impossible to dlclose() a JVM because DestroyJavaVM() is broken in all JNI implementations. It the code you reference JG(env) is a global variable that is the jenv of the currently running JVM. Of course a new JVM needs to be created by every instance of PHP (so every httpd child in apache). The code is misleading because in past versions of PHP, the module tried to unload the JVM and load it again every time a ini setting was changed. This code should be removed and jvm_create() should be instead placed in the PHP_MINIT() function, that way the JVM will be loaded when apache is started instead of the first time java() is used by PHP. I'll get to it eventually unless someone beats me to it. -Tony -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
