Hi,
To migrate the C++ daemon, Resin includes some utilities to run tasks
(Java classes in the end) periodically, we have also used Open
Symphony's Quartz scheduler to develop such thing in a container
independent way. The benefit of it is that you don't have to care
about two different pieces of software. OTOH, if you have to have the
server running independently of the servlet container, then a Java
application running as a service daemon would do fine.
Regarding using PHP for the business logic, the approach we have
experimented with is to call the Quercus engine through the Java
Scripting Interface and return XML from that, which is then fed to
FreeMarker/XSLT to generate the output. We have not developed it
specifically for PHP, it works with any scripting language, but PHP is
just fine if you have PHP resources and want to re-use them.
One could use PHP directly through the Quercus servlet, but that would
mean no SoC, and we want it.
We have a mini-example application that uses it and the framework that
does the work is also Open Source, in case you wanted to have a look
at it and see how it's done.
We had no PHP resources so we are not currently using the language
itself, but we use it with Groovy and it is conceptually the same.
BTW: There's a memory leak in version 3.1.5/6 when Quercus is called
through the Java Scripting API, so don't test the combination with
that version. Not sure if the leak is still present in latest version
as I had no time to test it yet.

Hi Guys!
I am playing around with Resin/Quercus now for a few days, trying to
make one of my PHP applications work in this environment.
It consists out of two parts, a traditional web frontend that I think I
will get up and running with Resin.
The other part is a TCP server, which I usually start through inetd or a
daemon written in C++. All the logic for the server is pure PHP.
Do you think I can port this to be controlled by a daemon/service
written in Java and still have the logic in PHP, processed by Quercus?
Could you give me any hints how to approach this? Where could be
pitfalls, what kind of wrappers you think I might have to write?
Any information that helps would be highly welcome :))
Hi Clemens,
This can be done in Resin, but it will take a bit of work. First,
you'll need write a custom protocol. Resin has a facility that lets
you do that and configure it pretty easily:
http://www.caucho.com/resin/examples/custom-protocol/index.xtp
Next, you'll need to integrate Quercus into that protocol. There are
a couple ways of doing that, but the easiest would probably be to use the
javax.script interface. You'll just use the Quercus engine for the
language. Looks like we don't have an example up for that yet, so I'll
throw a quick one up on the blog (http://blog.caucho.com/) later today.
If you have experience with javax.script though, it should be pretty
straight forward.
Keep us updated on your progress! It sounds like a very interesting
project.
