Can the implicit "bsf" variable be renamed ?

[Dmitry Goldenberg <dm...@weblayers.com>]

Folks,
 
Is there any way to rename the implicit 'bsf' variable available to the bsf script authors?
 
Also, is there a summary of all the methods (besides lookupBean) available on it?
 
How does one go about adding new methods on the bsf object - is that even an option?
 
Thanks,
 
- Dmitry

Hi Dimitry,

Yes. What language? If JavaScript, then lookup 
org.apache.bsf.engines.javascript.initialize(...) ...

What do you mean by that (you should have all the BSFEngine methods 
available)?

What would you like to achieve?

In principle: you can add whatever you wish. Just extend the current 
implementation of the scripting engine you use and add addtional methods 
there. You need to look up the source code of "your" BSF engine to learn 
about it.

Hope that helps,
