I need to run some java code on php so I found this 

http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/index.php

so I downloaded tomcat and put the JavaBridge.war in the webapps directory and I got the examples working (It took me a while to figure this out)

I can even load built-in java stuff Java("java.lang.System") and run the example jars with my own PHP code.

What I couldn't do was make my own jar and run it I tried a variety of different compilers (Eclipse,Netbeans,command-line) but this didn't help.

I'm trying to do something like this http://www.developer.com/java/other/php-with-java-using-php-java-bridge-tutorial.html

Here is my java code:

package m1sk;

/**
 *
 * @author M1sk
 */
public class Hello implements java.io.Serializable{

    String hi() {return "This is my hello message";}
    String hello(String name) {return "Hello" + name;}
}

php code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <?php
        require_once ("java/Java.inc");
    //  $t1 = new Java("java.lang.System"); 
    //echo $t1->getProperties(); //this works
        $world = new java("m1sk.Hello");
      //  echo $world->hi();
      echo "Hello Working Thingy\n\n";
        ?>
    </body>
</html>

i put the jar in ...\tomcat\webapps\JavaBridge\WEB-INF\lib and the php file in ...\tomcat\webapps\JavaBridge

and i get the following error when i test http://localhost:8080/JavaBridge/mytest.php:

I search the stack found this for my error: What is the reason for UnsupportedClassVersionError?

C:\Users\M1sk\Desktop>java -version
java version "1.7.0_04"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b22)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)

C:\Users\M1sk\Desktop>javac -version
javac 1.6.0_25

the version are different but this should still work so I don't believe this is my problem

  • Which version of Java is tomcat referring? – Subir Kumar Sao Jun 08 '12 at 07:21
  • @subirkumarsao i tried some stuff but couldn't get a good answer, how could i figure this? – m1sk Jun 08 '12 at 08:20
  • Normally we specify Java to tomcat through JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME environment variables. Check those if not present specify one with correct version of Java. Keep the compiler(jdk) and JVM(jre) version same, though its not a must. – Subir Kumar Sao Jun 08 '12 at 09:05
  • @subirkumarsao I tried but then I get this `C:\xampp\tomcat\bin>version.bat Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\xampp\tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\xampp\tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\xampp\tomcat\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\xampp\tomcat\jre C:\xampp\tomcat\bin>echo %JRE_HOME% C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bi` – m1sk Jun 09 '12 at 20:17

Reason for UnsupportedClassVersionError is because your class file was compiled using a later version of the JDK (eg. Java 7) while your JRE is an earlier version (eg. Java 6).

If you are using external libraries, then it is likely that the external library was compiled with a more recent version of the Java Compiler, as compared to the JRE you are using. I would recommend you upgrade your JRE to the latest version.

If you are using an Application Server to run it, do check that your Application Server is using the latest version of JRE as well. Your environment variable may be pointing at the latest version of JRE, but your application server may not be doing the same.
