in the same source tree?
Hmm, let me see the code. Actually, Cassie has implemented already two
handlers:
handlers.add(new OpenSocialDataHandler());
handlers.add(new StateFileDataHandler());
in theory, it could be possible to implement a PhpBridgeDataHandler()
reading the query to a xxx.xxx/index.php, very in the same way that
StateFileDataHandler reads an static xml thing.

It seems also reasonable to separate the whole /gadgets/social json request
when it hits jetty. I understand this hit is described in
shindig/java/gadgets/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>socialdata</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.apache.shindig.social.GadgetDataServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>socialdata</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/socialdata</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
so you can just rename the urlpattern socialdata to socialdatajava and
redirect the rest to a php service; I do not know yet how it works in
maven-jetty but it should be some tag in this file; it is only that it is
not compiling just now, because I am using java 1.4.5 and Cassie has
migrated already to use jdk6. (Has it been announced somewhere???)
