BSF - introspection of methods/params?

[Davanum Srinivas <di...@yahoo.com>]

Hi folks,

Apache Axis now has a BSF Provider (see commit message -
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-dev&m=103911138503393&w=2). One problem we have is that BSF
does not provide a way to introspect the list of functions/methods (and the parameters for the
functions/methods). We need this to dynamically create a WSDL for the methods/functions exposed by
the script. 

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? 

Thanks,
dims

It would be good to add function introspection, as it would help solve 
some other issues BSF has. Shall we add it to the TODO for, say, 2.4? 
Right now I'm trying to stay focused on a first release which keeps Gump 
happy. 8^)

Any other opinions on this?
