#2024 WebSphere sMash Integration, PHP with Java - case study with SugarCRM. Rob Nicholson, IBM Senior Technical Staff Member Majed Itani, SugarCRM Architect © 2009 IBM Corporation © 2009 IBM Corporation

Abstract Commercial Open Source CRM Vendor SugarCRM attributes a large part of their considerable success to their customizable architecture. Clients can quickly tailor Sugar to their business often without writing code. Where programming is required, their partners and clients implement in the simple but powerful scripting language, PHP. Recently, Sugar announced a RESTFul Web service interface which further simplifies programming interactions with their application. In this talk, hear from SugarCRM and learn the benefits they see from running SugarCRM on the PHP-on-Java environment in IBM WebSphere® sMash. We demonstrate the use of sMash to build integrations both with traditional enterprise assets and with Web 2.0 services from the Internet. We showcase the powerful PHP-to-Java bridge capabilities of IBM WebSphere sMash together with the use if RESTful Web services, Atom and RSS feeds. © 2009 IBM Corporation 2 © 2009 IBM Corporation

WebSphere sMash Agile development of dynamic Web 2.0 based applications Introducing WebSphere sMash • Improves developer productivity and efficiency through the support of dynamic scripting languages (Groovy and PHP) on Java • Leverages Web 2.0 technologies for service invocation, service composition and data interchange • Provides visual tools for developers to build and assemble web2.0 applications © 2009 IBM Corporation 5 © 2009 IBM Corporation

WebSphere sMash Dynamic scripting languages Speed Templates & Pre-built services Visual Editors Simplicity Assemble style development Application “is” the server Agility Clean, short-lived runtime © 2009 IBM Corporation 6 © 2009 IBM Corporation

WebSphere sMash PHP Support • PHP runtime built in Java. – To PHP.net as Jruby is to Ruby and Jython is to Python • Same-process interaction between Java and PHP. – Calls without IPC – Efficient. – Data sharing without copies – Access to sMash Global Context. • Mix Java and PHP assets and programmers – Best of both worlds. – Mix PHP frameworks, applications, extensions with Java libraries. – Allow PHP and Java Programmers to collaborate. • Benefit from vast investment in Java VM – JIT, Garbage Collector, – Ongoing investment in Java RAS and tools. – Bringing IBM’s best of breed VM technology to bear on PHP. • JVM Dynamic languages community. – Java world embracing scripting languages such as Jruby, Jython, Groovy, Scala © 2009 IBM Corporation 8 © 2009 IBM Corporation

PHP in WebSphere sMash Java Virtual Machine • Runs PHP 5 scripts • Requires Java 5 SE or later. HTTP server • Extensibility via XAPI Zero Programming Model • XAPI-C for C extensions from php.net • XAPI-J for Java extensions, native libraries invoked over JNI and Project Zero Java- Bridge JAR interface PHP runtime JAR Groovy Debug • Extension language choice opaque to P8 Runtime JAR runtime PHP script Interpreter/Compiler JAR • Java Bridge xd XAPI-J eb • Debug using via xdebug protocol using XAPI-C Java ug C Eclipse with PDT Extensions Extensions WebSphere sMash PDT © 2009 IBM Corporation 9 © 2009 IBM Corporation

PHP – Java Interaction • PHP Java Bridge allows PHP to: – Instantiate Java Classes – Call static and instance methods – Access static and instance fields – Extend Java Classes (not abstract) – Implement Java Interfaces. • Zero programming model allows PHP to: – Interact with other Modules built using Groovy, Java, PHP, Flow by: • Handle and fire Zero events • Fetch and store to the global context. • Use cases. – ZSL built “IdeaLab” combining phpBB with sMash security an custom handler in Groovy. – ZSL combined PHP with the Java version of Lucene. – Interface a PHP application to MQ using JMS. – Create complex Excel spreadsheets using Apache POI java libraries. © 2009 IBM Corporation 10 © 2009 IBM Corporation
