PHP 4.0 Bug #6122 Updated: JVM starts only on 3 requests per httpd

ID: 6122 Updated by: sniper Reported By: torben@php.net Status: Feedback Bug Type: *General Issues Assigned To: Comments: What's the status with this bug? Still valid? --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-13 20:34:19] rubys@php.net Three does seem like an abnormally low number... I will take a look into it. The design of ext/java is *not* to create a new JVM per request, but to create a single JVM per thread (which in Apache's case is per process). For scalability and robustness, I recommend sapi/servlet. I use Tomcat, which can be connected to Apache. In such a configuration, there will only every be a single JVM, with multiple requests being handled on separate threads. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-12 07:41:17] torben@php.net ./configure --with-java --with-mysql --with-gd --with-apache=../apache_1.3.11 --enable-track-vars --enable-sysvshm --enable-bcmath --disable-debug --with-xml Using Blackdown JDK 1.2.2 From php.ini: [java] java.class.path=/usr/local/lib/php_java.jar extension_dir=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20000809 extension=libphp_java.so java.library.path=/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386:/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386/native_threads:/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386/classic:/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20000809 Test script: <?php $system = new Java("java.lang.System"); print "Java version=".$system->getProperty("java.version")." n"; print "Java vendor=".$system->getProperty("java.vendor")." <p>nn"; print "OS=".$system->getProperty("os.name")."

The fourth run gives the error: Fatal error: Unable to create Java Virtual Machine in /home/torben/public_html/php3test/tj.html on line 2. Setting MaxRequestsPerChild to < 3 in httpd.conf makes the problem go away, but this is obviously a suboptimal solution. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=6122
