Re: PHP ext/java and sapi/servlet reliability

Juan, I'm currently looking at the Java/Servlet code and trying to get it to be a little more stable (Sam appointed me to this task a few months ago and I've been slowly coming up to speed). I apologize on Sam's behalf for not responding to you but he's moved on to other responsibilities which involves a lot of travel and he may not be as attentive to the needs of PHP users as he may have been in the past. So far, I found that the Java feature is very inefficient since it starts up a JVM per session and could quickly max out your machine's resources. The Servlet feature, on the other hand, is much more practical but there may be some reentrancy bugs in it as I always get a trap after 3 attempts if I compile without debug. However, enabling debug appears to mask the problem so that it doesn't trap (at least with my limited testing). I hope to have this fixed soon and we're planning to take it through some more intensive stress testing to make sure it's ready for prime time. Watch this space. Alex
