As soon as you leave the Java world, the only means of passing dynamic content is the 'traditional' way, i.e. parameters. You lose everything from page to application scopes and won't be able to use attributes (Objects) in particular, as those reside inside the VM's memory and thus are inaccessible from PHP. If you absolutely have to pass complex information between the PHP app and the Java part, one possible suggestion might be to use a database or other third-party serialization target both of them can access (in lack of a database, an XML file, perhaps). Generally, I won't recommend this, for there may be all kinds of synchronization and security issues involved. Don't know if PHP can handle this, but this also might be a situation where Web Services may be helpful. Anyway, the overhead involved in both cases is much too big for a private site. IMHO it's better to look for a Java-based blog solution. > is this incredibly easy? impossible? is there some weird chaining > process that i have to go through? or is there another blogging tool > which doesn't use php which i should use instead? Admitting I kind of hate both blogs and PHP in general, I'm still pretty sure there are Java-based blog solutions around. The first thing I'd do is to check out Google and then sourceforge.net, as always. Or java.net, lately. > daniel HTH, -- Chris. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
