AbstractIBM WebSpherereg sMash is a platform for developing and running agile

Web applications using scripting languages and Web 20 technologies such as RESTful Web services JavaScript Object Notation and Atom and RSS feeds It supports the Groovy language familiar to Javaprogrammers and PHP for access to thousands of PHP applicationsand librariesand the huge PHP developer community IBM WebSphere sMash is focused on significant improvement in time-to-value for Situational Applications and Mashups Partners and community have found that by combining PHP applications and libraries with new code written in PHP or Groovy for the IBM WebSphere sMash platform they can achieve significant reduction in development time for Situational Applications and Mashups We cover an overview of the PHP support in IBM WebSphere sMash and the support for generating new PHP code before exploring more detailed scenarios demonstrating PHP Applications being extended integrated and mashed up

Why PHP

bull 20M+ web domains use PHPbull 3M+ Programmers know PHPbull Huge repository of reusable modules snippets extensionsbull Easy language to learn -gt Mashupsbull Language has evolved to be easy to use

TIOBE Programming Community Index (Sep 2008)Gartner (Dec 2007)bull PHP Developers to grow from 3 to

55 million by 2013bull PHP Developers in Commercial or

Corporate IT to grow from 13 to 60 by 2013

bull ldquoPay special attention to opportunities to leverage PHP in combination with Java development effortsrdquo

WebSphere sMash PHP Supportbull PHP runtime built in Java

ndashTo PHPnet as Jruby is to Ruby and Jython is to Pythonbull Compile PHP into Java bytecodes and run on a Java

Virtual Machinebull Powerful blending of PHP and Java code

ndashJava and PHP code run in the same process on the same Threadbull No need for Inter-process communication

ndashEfficient calls between PHP Java Groovy on the same stack

ndashPass data between Java Groovy and PHP without copyingbull Avoids serialising and passing data between processes

ndashImport Java classes as PHP Classesbull Easy access to the many Java libraries from PHP code

Benefits of PHP in sMashbull Develop quickly by using the best tools and

materials for the jobndash PHP code such as smarty SimpleXML drupal phpBB ndash Java code such as Apache Lucene POI and Eclipse BIRT

bull Start simple using sMash tooling such as ZRM Flow

ndash Customise and extend using PHP scripts and snippets

bull Unleash agile teams using Java and PHP skillsndash Allow teams to use their full range of skills

bull Build on a solid base ndash PHP built on the Java VM at the heart of IBMrsquos enterprise software stack

bull Familiar to many enterprises bull Vast investment in JIT Garbage Collector RAS and tools

PHP ndash JavaGroovy InteractionbullPHP JavaGroovy Bridge allows PHP to

ndash Instantiate Java Classesndash Call static and instance methodsndash Access static and instance fieldsndash Extend Java Classes (not abstract)ndash Implement Java Interfacesndash Interact with Groovy Classes objects Closures and Ranges

bullZero programming model allows PHP tondash Interact with other Modules built using Groovy Java PHP Flow by

bull Handle and fire Zero eventsbull Fetch and store to the global context

14copy 2009 IBM Corporation

PHP ndash Java Bridge ndash Basic use

Basic access to Java methods and fields - types

are automatically converted at boundary of PHP runtime

Static methods and fields are accessible by using the

built in JavaClass class

Java exceptions can be caught in PHP scripts

15copy 2009 IBM Corporation

PHP- Java Bridge ndash Iterators and overloads

Bridging between PHP and Java iterators

Signatures provide explicit control for overloaded constructors and methods

16copy 2009 IBM Corporation

Java Bridge ndash Importing Java Classes

Importing a Java class creates a PHP class that has the same shape

17copy 2009 IBM Corporation

Java Bridge ndash Extending Java in PHPExtending a Java class inside PHP is

possible but has some limitations

Java bean access maps field access onto getset method calls
