Aspose.BarCode Java For PHP

Introduction to Aspose.Barcode Java for PHP

PHP / Java Bridge

The PHP/Java Bridge is an implementation of a streaming, XML-based network protocol, which can be used to connect a native script engine, for example PHP, Scheme or Python, with a Java virtual machine. It is up to 50 times faster than local RPC via SOAP, requires less resources on the web-server side. It is faster and more reliable than direct communication via the Java Native Interface, and it requires no additional components to invoke Java procedures from PHP or PHP procedures from Java.

How to configure the source code on Linux Platform

Please follow these simple steps in order to open and extend the source code while using:

1. Install Tomcat Server

To install tomcat server, issue following command on the linux console. This will successfully install tomcat server.

 sudo apt-get install tomcat8

2. Download and Configure PHP/JavaBridge

In order to download the PHP/JavaBridge binaries, issue following command on the linux console.

  wget http://citylan.dl.sourceforge.net/project/php-java-bridge/Binary%20package/php-java-bridge_6.2.1/php-java-bridge_6.2.1_documentation.zip 

Unzip the PHP/JavaBridge binaries by issuing the following command on linux console.

  unzip -d php-java-bridge_6.2.1_documentation.zip 

This will extract JavaBridge.war file. Copy it to tomcat88 webapps folder by issuing the following command on Linux console.

  sudo cp JavaBridge.war /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/JavaBridge.war 

By copying, tomcat8 will automatically create a new folder “JavaBridge” in webapps. Once the folder is created, make sure your tomcat8 is running and then check http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge in browser, it should open a default page of JavaBridge.

If any error message appears then install  FastCGI by issuing the following command on Linux console.

  sudo apt-get install php55-cgi 

After installing php5.5 cgi, restart tomcat8 server and check http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge again in the browser.

If JAVA_HOME error is displayed, then open /etc/default/tomcat8 file and uncomment the line that sets the JAVA_HOME. Check http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge in browser again, it should come with PHP/JavaBridge Examples page. 

3. Configure Aspose.Barcode Java for PHP Examples

Clone, PHP examples by issuing the following commands inside webapps/JavaBridge folder. 

 $ git init 

$ git clone [https://github.com/asposeslides/Aspose_Slides_Java/tree/master/Plugins/Aspose_Slides_Java_for_PHP]
