Quercus is Caucho Technology’s 100% Java implementation of PHP 5. Ludo described the steps to deploy PHP web applications on GlassFish. Caucho has released a new version of Quercus since then. This blog entry is an update to the steps described earlier.
- First, PHP-enable GlassFish.
- Unjar quercus-3.1.1.war and copy the JAR files in "
WEB-INF/lib" directory to "GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain/lib" directory. That’s it! Although the original entry requires to copy the JARs in "GLASSFISH_HOME/lib/addons" directory but that didn’t work.
- Unjar quercus-3.1.1.war and copy the JAR files in "
- Create a PHP web application
- Create a new Web application project, lets say "
hellophp", using NetBeans IDE and choose GlassFish as the server. - Replace the contents of "web.xml" with the following fragment:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
version="2.5">

<servlet>
<servlet-name>Quercus Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.caucho.quercus.servlet.QuercusServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Quercus Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.php</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.php</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>This will declare PHP engine as the servlet.
- Add a new page "
index.php" in "Web pages" folder. The contents of the page are:<?php
echo "Hello World!";
phpinfo();
?>This page prints "Hello World!" on the browser and some configuration settings of PHP. The directory structure of the created project looks like:META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
WEB-INF/
WEB-INF/classes/
WEB-INF/sun-web.xml
WEB-INF/web.xml
index.jsp
index.phpNotice, "index.jsp" is only a template file to get started with JSPs and "sun-web.xml" is GlassFish-specific deployment descriptor. These files are not required for this PHP application although it does not hurt to leave them in the webapp as well.
- Create a new Web application project, lets say "
- Deploy the application by right-clicking on the project and selecting "
Deploy Project". Your first PHP application in GlassFish is now deployed at "http://localhost:8080/hellophp/index.php".
Now that you have verified that your GlassFish is ready to host PHP applications, try the different applications that are described in Ludo’s blog.
Technorati: php glassfish caucho quercus
[Trackback] jMaki is a light-weight framework for build Web 2.0 applications. It provides support for multiple languages – Java (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) , PHP, Ruby (1, 2), Phobos (1). The numbers in parentheses indicate the entries that I’ve…

Since your adding quercus capabilities to a an entire domain, you might as well modify config/default-web.xml .
I imagine using NetBeans here is for further PHP->Java integration.
Also, is Quercus 3.1.1 new?
Comment by Alexis MP — August 24, 2007 @ 7:33 am
Yeah 3.1.1 is new and does not require php.ini. NetBeans is useful for two purposes:
1). It creates a template webapp project easily.
2). The reason you mentioned.
I’m not fully aware of the purpose of modifying default-web.xml. The name seems to indicate it’s the default web.xml if none is packaged in webapp. Is that right ?

Glassfish and Quercus works fine!
But, what about datasources? I ‘ve been experimenting with the pg_connect() call in php to access a PostGreSql db with no success.
There’s a good tutorial for Resin here http://quercus.caucho.com/quercus-3.1/doc/quercus-overview.xtp#databases
How´s this done in Glassfish?
Thanks

Is the datasource problem solved?
I spend a lot of time trying to get pg_connect working, but no success :-/
Thanks!

The description above gives support for PHP per WAR-module which is cool. BUT if one want it generally it’s just to include this servlet definition in the file default-web.xml:
<!– PHP support –>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Quercus Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.caucho.quercus.servlet.QuercusServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Quercus Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.php</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

If anyone is trying to configure default-web.xml, use php not just in webapps but anything in docroot folder and also use a custom php.ini, I found this path works since there is no WEB-INF for docroot:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Quercus Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.caucho.quercus.servlet.QuercusServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>ini-file</param-name>
<param-value>../config/php.ini</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
If you use phpinfo() to display the php.ini location, it always says WEB-INF/php.ini no matter what. That must be a bug.

You need to add the datasource in your web.xml:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/base</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
I used PDO to access it:
<?php
$pdo = new PDO("java:comp/env/jdbc/base");
echo "<table border=1>"
$sql = "SELECT valor FROM Tabla1";
foreach ($pdo->query($sql) as $renglon) {
echo "<tr><td>$renglon[valor]</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>"
?>
