Question

I know this question is not new but I am posting this after going through enough googling around.

I have a jar file which I don’t control. I mean I have not written the Java class in there and all I know is that there is a class named “hist” in it which takes two arrays and gives out the output. Now I have to use PHP to call this class “hist” in the jar file named “histvol.jar”. I have installed the PHP/Java Bridge and it is installed correctly.
But I don’t understand how to call this jar file in PHP and where to place this jar file.

This is what I did:

1. Installed tomcat and php-javabridge
2. Placed the jarfile “histvol.jar” under Tomcat/webapps/JavaBridgeTemplate621/webinf/lib/
3. Went to xampp/htdocs and created a file named testjava.php

<?php  
require_once("http://localhost:8080/JavaBridgeTemplate621/java/Java.inc");  
$System = java("java.lang.System");  
$myclass=java("histvol");  
echo $System->getProperties();  
?>

Class not found exception is expected because I am not calling it anywhere in PHP, but how do I call it?
I am lost, please help (I don’t know a word of Java).

Answer 1

Ok I got it finally, I just had to do this:-

$myclass=new java("histvolone.histvol");

instead of

$myclass=new java("histvol");

It worked !
