Hi! JSR 223 - Scripting Pages in JavaTM Web Applications

[Endre Stølsvik <we...@stolsvik.com>]

Do you have any input?!

WebMacro and Velocity should ideally jump in here and tout the cool ideas
embedded in this common type of language!

Sounds like old coffee. There is Jython, BSE, JEL, JXPath, Jelly,
XSP, Tea as well as (other) reflection based scripting laguages
like Velocity doing similar things.

JSR-223 is speaking of a bit different approach: use of Java from
within other scripting languages like PHP (I'm not sure if BSE
already has such a feature...).

To me Jython is a favorite, since it is near to a scripting language
that allows a straightforward Java access.

Anyway, velocity could use any of the JSR-223 library objects wihtin
the vel-context. Only problems would arise if the library depends to
strongly on other frameworks (e.g. JSP-Taglib, Avalon components, etc.)
Since JSR-223 states to be bound to the servlet API, anyone could
write a wrapping JSR223VelocityServlet that uses their features.

Anyone has a different view on this?
