Sttaus 500 when delivering PHP pages with JSR 223 Reference Implementation

["Richard A. DeVenezia" <rd...@wildblue.net>]

My situation is that my web host processes php files using a cgi-bin/php
mechanism, which incurs a php startup cost on each php page served.  I don't
have the option of getting mod_php turned on

I do have pretty complete control over my Tomcat situation though.  Thus, I
want to try to use the JSR 223 reference implementation to deliver my php
pages from a servlet, which in theory, will keep a php processor
(libphp.so?) in memory and
deliver php generated content faster than the apache/cgi-bin situation I am
hindered with.  I would have to rename all my php pages to something like
.phpx, or .phpj, or .phptc, or .sphp to prevent the cgi-bin situation

(remove the big X's)

My host has a browser based Control Panel (CP) for restarting Tomcat.  Some
logging indicates the tomcat process has these env vars (as setup by
startupjsr.sh)

JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.library.path=/www/devenezia.com/opt/jsr223/php5/lib

Any ideas on what is needed for getting 223 reference implementation working
?
Is the source code of the ref. imp. available ?

Thanks,
