[jira] [Created] (JEXL-317) Support script cancellation through less invasive API

Henri Biestro created JEXL-317:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Support script cancellation through less invasive API
                 Key: JEXL-317
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-317
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.1
            Reporter: Henri Biestro
            Assignee: Henri Biestro
             Fix For: 3.2


WHAT: A way to cancel (aka stop interpretation) of a running script

WHY: To integrate script cancellation in exiting applications/environments, it is often difficult and costly to refactor the script calling code to use callable and/or interrupt threads. Another less invasive mean is necessary.

HOW: An atomic boolean reference that can be shared through an optional context interface will replace the (actual) volatile boolean that carries the interrupt status for the interpreter. This is the minimal disruption and the existing code logic does not change.
