Tomcat outputs php to stderr
Hi,
I am developing a ticket system which should use servlets to connect to the
various resources.
Currently I am a php developer and busy to learn JSP/TLD/Servlets
I installed Tomcat 6.0.18 with PHP 5.2.6 on Windows Vista Business (the
production server will be running either Gentoo or CentOS).
Installation went fine, no errors. just one thing I couldn't resolve.
All output generated by php goes directly to the stderr log file instead of
the browser (JSP and servlets work fine)
I used
http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/running-php-5x-on-windows-using-tomcat-4x-or-5x/
and http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/UsingPhp to configure the two.
I started reading about listeners, log4j and servlet mappings.
This seemed over the top to me, so I decided to just ask the question here.
Any help is greatly appreciated

How did you install your PHP 5.2.6?
Following the instructions from that "blog.taragana.com" page that
you mentioned, I should have found php5servlet.dll and phpsrvlt.jar
in pecl-5.2.6-Win32.zip.
Those files were there in 5.0.2, but they are absent in 5.2.6.
Also, I cannot find the sources for the servlet in the official 5.0.2
sources .tar.gz file, but some are available here:
http://cvsweb.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pecl/servlet/
Thus far:
1. How you installed them? Maybe there is some version mismatch.
2. Maybe there is some reason why those files are no more bundled
with 5.2.6.
3. If those are the sources - The servlet calls into native servlet.c,
and the rest is php-specific.
>From the sources (servlet.java, rev.1.21):
1. The code is experimental / alpha, so you should be prepared.
2. The servlet seems to be not thread-safe. It stores request, response
in its local fields.
IIRC, "implements javax.servlet.SingleThreadModel" must be added
to such a servlet to avoid concurrent calls (as mentioned in SRV.2.2
chapter of the Java Servlets spec 2.5)
.
Another way would be to mark the service() method of the servlet as
"synchronized" one.
It is hard to believe, that no one noticed these issues, but maybe
those are wrong sources, or I am missing something, or nobody
is using them and thus no one cares. All that is OK for experimental
code.
3. The writing of result is done in method servlet.write(String),
try {
response.getWriter().print(data);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
If you are seeing the output text (as you mentioned), and not exceptions
and their stack traces, then maybe php just does not call this method
and writes all output to the stderr handle? If so, then may be there were
some changes in the bridge / sapi of PHP, and the code / binaries are
not compatible...
All the above was just out of my curiosity, trying to find the
sources...
Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko

You probably in the wrong mailing list... should be asking the guys that
made this third party stuff...
But I had a little look look and I cant event find the PECL servlet in the
current PHP stuff...
This custom servlet, is calling JNI, thats talking to PHP... and it seems
PHP has no interest, Tomcat guys are into servlets, so I'd say its broken...
unless you backup to an earlier era...
My guess, the JNI is failing... the stream is getting dumped to standard
err...
I found this page, where some guy has tried to fix it on his lonesome...
http://chen-lahav-software-thoughts.blogspot.com/
Good luck... looks like no one cares (;

Thank you so far, I will definitely look into Quercus.
Still, I would like to understand why output is sent to stderr and if it can
be solved (I recall running PHP and tomcat in the past) without problems

Dont do it this way... run PHP on Apache httpd... its the PHP container...
and do your servlet stuff in TC... its a good servlet container.
Then put Apache httpd in front of TC... read up on the JK connector... and
then to the browser its *one system*....
Thats how they do it ;)
If you insist on wanting the Java PHP layer... Resin is probably the best...
they not calling into a PHP engine, they rewrote it in Java... whether they
up to date with all modules is the question?
Anyway... just trying to show you that you dont have to change a thing...
join em ;)
Have fun..

Hi Serge,
Besides using PHP/Apache, the next best thing is Quercus. More info
