Scala in Sling help
Hi,
I am interested in making Scala language usable in Sling.
I am currently in the process of preparing a Google Summer of Code
proposal to start with.
Please appologise if I'm bothering you. This is the first time I'm
posting to this list.
I have a doubt to clear.
Under sub directory scripting in Sling home directory there is a
package containing a Script Engine.
As this is used in all other scripting languages available in Sling
ex: Ruby , JavaScript. Is it an interface to integrate scripting
languages to Sling.
Is there a standard process to integrate a scripting language to Sling.
regards,
Janandith.

Cool. I am sure, Bertrand Delacretaz is very interested in seeing Scala
inside Sling ;-)

I assume you are talking of the scripting/api module, which exports the
Java Scripting API ? This is in fact the basis for the scripting support
in Sling.

The Java Scripting API basically defines two interfaces which must be
implemented to provide a new script lanugage: The ScriptEngineFactory
and the ScriptEngine. The factory is very easy and provides access to
the ScriptEngines. The ScriptEngine actually is the integrator of the
script language and provides the glue between the Java world and the
script world.
For a very simple template you might want to look at the Velocity
support in the scripting/velocity module.

The main standard process is to write a ScriptEngineFactoy and
ScriptEngine for your scripting language, scala in this case. In
addition to make it usable in Sling, the package you create must be an
OSGi bundle. This can be achieved by using the Maven Bundle Plugin.
As a starter, I suggest you look at the Velocity module and adapt the
project as needed:
* Change the settings in pom.xml
* Adapt the ScriptEngine and ScriptEngineFactory classes as
appropriate
* Change the fully qualified name of the factory class in the
META-INF/services/javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory file.
That should be it.
Hope this helps.

Felix
