JAMP

A portable platform-independent PHP, webserver and database stack in Java. See blog post at webdevelopersdiary.com.

Examples

CodeIgniter with ActiveRecord on JAMP

Install

Install the latest version of Quercus and clone the JAMP repository, e.g.

wget http://caucho.com/download/quercus-4.0.36.war
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=quercus-4.0.36.war -DgroupId=com.caucho -DartifactId=quercus -Dversion=4.0.36 -Dpackaging=war
git clone https://github.com/webdevelopersdiary/jamp.git

Run

Put your files in the document root located at src/main/webapp/ and start the webserver:

cd jamp
mvn jetty:run

Wait until you see [INFO] Started Jetty Server in the console output and point your browser to http://localhost:8080/.

Internal database

By default the database is temporary, meaning if you stop the web server, the data is erased. If you want to use a persistent database file instead of the temporary in-memory database, go to src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml and change line

<Set name="url">jdbc:h2:mem:database;IGNORECASE=TRUE;MODE=MYSQL</Set>

to

<Set name="url">jdbc:h2:file:filename;IGNORECASE=TRUE;MODE=MYSQL</Set>

Where you replace 'filename' with a relative path to a file (relative to pom.xml) or an absolute path to a file. For more information about the H2 JDBC URL see H2's feature list.

A crude database web based admin tool is included. You can connect to the database via the web console located at http://localhost:8080/database-console/ using the JDBC URL (e.g. jdbc:h2:mem:database;IGNORECASE=TRUE;MODE=MYSQL), the default username and password are blank.

External MySQL database

If you want to connect to an external MySQL database, go to src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml and comment the following block:

<init-param>
	<param-name>database</param-name>
	<param-value>java:comp/env/jdbc/database</param-value>
</init-param>

With this code block still enabled, Quercus will just ignore all connect parameters and connect you with the internal database instead.

php.ini

php.ini is located at src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/php.ini.

.htaccess

JAMP has partial support for .htaccess, currently it can parse mod_rewrite rules. .htaccess must be located in the web root src/main/webapp/.

Known limitations

JAMP only supports PDO database connections to its internal database (mysql_connect() works, but without full support for UTF-8).
