Comments on: Kohana MVC Framework on Google App Engine … or not http://raivoratsep.com/52/kohana-mvc-framework-on-google-app-engine-or-not/ Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:47:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Deejay http://raivoratsep.com/52/kohana-mvc-framework-on-google-app-engine-or-not/comment-page-1/#comment-5494 Deejay Mon, 21 Feb 2011 12:54:54 +0000 http://raivoratsep.com/?p=52#comment-5494 The reason this doesn't work isn't down to any Java classloading issues - it's because Quercus loads classes differently to regular PHP. PHP normally loads in a whole file (includes and all), then evaluates it. Quercus evaluates class definitions as it encounters them. Kohana_Core is the base class, and Kohana extends it. Unfortunately Kohana_Core is riddled with references to Kohana (which coincidentally is some of the ost shockingly poor OO design I have ever seen), which doesn't exist yet. You can test this yourself by changing all the static references from Kohana:: to Kohana_Core::, but this didn't solve all my problems - I had issues later down the line. It's a shame that Quercus doesn't actually work reliably, as otherwise it would have been quite a promising technology.

I was about to try this as well. Maybe you'd like to give Codeigniter's a shot too? Interesting… I was about to try this as well. Maybe you’d like to give Codeigniter’s a shot too?
