Compiling JavaScript under BSF

[Ivan Eisen <ir...@us.ibm.com>]

I have JavaScript routines that are executed numerous times.  Is it
possible through BSF to compile them once and execute them over and over.
I saw that you can compile JavaScript into a CodeBuffer.   I am not sure of
the purpose of the CodeBuffer or how it can be used.


Thanks,
Ivan

Ivan,

My apologies for an *extremely* late reply.
The use of the CodeBuffer has not been fleshed out in the Apache
version of BSF; it remains much as it was in the IBM version. This
is an area where improvement is intended, but effort has not yet
been expended.

Sorry to dash your hopes; perhaps that can be remedied in the
(near) future.

Victor
