Java and C++ method support

I have searched through the documentation and haven't found a concrete answer. I am a new php user so pardon my basic questions. Does the --with-Java tag in the configure mean that php supports DIRECT implementation of Java methods? If so is it just a case of the methods being used being in the CLASSPATH and php "knowing" the location of the jre? Also, is it possible to directly access C++ methods? Would this be done via a module created with the desired methods, this would less than desirable? I am mainly talking about the ability to access MFC methods on NT, like asp does it. Because I need cross platform compatibility and php looks like an excellent alternative. *********************************** AL Lewis Systems Engineer Evolutionary Systems Inc. http://www.es-inc.com (831)392.1092 (831)392.1192 fax
