All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

public class PhpCGIServlet
extends FastCGIServlet

Handles requests from internet clients.

This servlet can handle GET/POST requests directly. These requests invoke the php-cgi machinery from the CGI or FastCGI servlet. Although the servlet to php-cgi back to servlet path is quite slow (compared with the http front end/j2ee back end setup) and consumes two servlet instances instead of only one, it can be useful as a replacement for a system php installation, see the README in the WEB-INF/cgi folder. It is currently used for our J2EE test/demo.

Field Summary

static int	CGI_CHANNEL A local port which will be used by the SocketContextServer for high-speed local communication. The SocketContextServer may use ports [9567,...[9667 (bound to the local interface), if named pipes are not available (Windows only).
static int	CGI_MAX_REQUESTS The max.
static int	CGI_SSL_CHANNEL A local port which will be used instead of the current SSL port.

Method Summary

void	destroy() Destroys the FastCGI connection pool, if it exists.
void	init(javax.servlet.ServletConfig config) Create a new FastCGI servlet which connects to a PHP FastCGI server using a connection pool.

Field Detail

CGI_CHANNEL

public static final int CGI_CHANNEL

A local port which will be used by the SocketContextServer for high-speed local communication.
The SocketContextServer may use ports [9567,...[9667 (bound to the local interface), if named pipes are not available (Windows only). Use the system property php.java.bridge.no_socket_server=true to switch it off (not recommended).

SocketContextServer, PipeContextServer, Constant Field Values

CGI_SSL_CHANNEL

public static final int CGI_SSL_CHANNEL

A local port which will be used instead of the current SSL port. Requires that the J2EE server or servlet engine listens on this local port.
If SSL is used, the CGI servlet passes this number instead of the current port number to PHP. Example setting for tomcat conf/server.xml (add the line marked with a +):

<Service name="Catalina">
[...]
+ <Connector port="9157" address="127.0.0.1" />
[...]
</Service>


To use a custom port#, switch off override_hosts in the WEB-INF/web.xml and add the following lines to your php.ini file:

java.hosts=127.0.0.1:<CUSTOM_NON_SSL_PORT>
java.servlet=On

Constant Field Values

CGI_MAX_REQUESTS

public static final int CGI_MAX_REQUESTS

The max. number of concurrent CGI requests.

The value should be less than 1/2 of the servlet engine's thread pool size as this servlet also consumes an instance of PhpJavaServlet.

public PhpCGIServlet()

Method Detail

init

public void init(javax.servlet.ServletConfig config)
          throws javax.servlet.ServletException

Description copied from class: FastCGIServlet

Create a new FastCGI servlet which connects to a PHP FastCGI server using a connection pool. If the JavaBridge context exists and the JavaBridge context can start a FastCGI server and the current context is configured to connect to a FastCGI server, the current context connects to the JavaBridge context to start the server and then uses this server for all subsequent requests until the server is stopped. When FastCGI is not available (anymore), the parent CGI servlet is used instead.

Specified by:

init in interface javax.servlet.Servlet

Overrides:

init in class FastCGIServlet

Parameters:

config - a ServletConfig object containing the servlet's configuration and initialization parameters

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - if an exception has occurred that interferes with the servlet's normal operation

destroy

public void destroy()

Description copied from class: FastCGIServlet

Destroys the FastCGI connection pool, if it exists.

Specified by:

destroy in interface javax.servlet.Servlet

Overrides:

destroy in class FastCGIServlet
