The /ext/java module is an odd duck compared to other php extentions in that it uses DL_LOAD() to load libjava instead of being linked and that it is always built as a module (.so) instead of being built static into php.
I've spent some time over the past couple weeks investigating why this is done and experimenting with different build methods. Although, i haven't come up with any breakthroughs in makeing the java extension build any other way, I've compiled some notes on the subject: http://tjw.org/php_java/build_notes.php I think I have a pretty good handle on why things are the way they are, but am I missing something? -Tony -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
