Hi

I am attempting to utilize a remote java server and communicate to it
with in a php script. The php server is running Gentoo Linux 2.6.13. The
remote java server is a Windows XP box with JRE. The program on the
Windows XP box is Telestream FlipFactory 4.0 (www.telestream.net). It is
a video transcoder that provides automated transcoding of video files.
It requires a java environment with in Windows and also uses the
Microsoft Database Server for storing database info.

Right now I am not sure exactly which way to go in setting up the
communication. I have seen programs out there such as php-java-bridge
that allows connection of php to java, but I am not sure if this is
really what I need. I am also thinking of interfacing directly with the
database server and hopefully that will allow most of the features to work.

In addition, I am seeing if it is possible to run this application in a
wine/vmware way on a unix box. Though I am not sure this would help with
communication since it would still be in java, it would be a little easier.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanx.
anthony
