| Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) is a set of Java classes which provides an |
| easy to use scripting language support within Java applications. It also |
| provides access to Java objects and methods from supported scripting |
| languages. BSF allows one to write JSPs in languages other than Java |
| while providing access to the Java class library. In addition, BSF |
| permits any Java application to be implemented in part (or dynamically |
| extended) by a language that is embedded within it. This is achieved by |
| providing an API that permits calling scripting language engines from |
| within Java, as well as an object registry that exposes Java objects to |
| these scripting language engines. |
| |
| BSF supports several scripting languages currently. Here is the list of the |
| scripting languages that are knwon to BSF to be available |
| ('org/apache/bsf/Languages.properties'): |
| |
| * beanbasic = org.apache.bsf.engines.beanbasic.BeanBasicEngine, bb |
| * beanshell = bsh.util.BeanShellBSFEngine, bsh |
| * bml = org.apache.bml.ext.BMLEngine, bml |
| * groovy = org.codehaus.groovy.bsf.GroovyEngine, groovy|gy |
| * jacl = org.apache.bsf.engines.jacl.JaclEngine, jacl |
| * java = org.apache.bsf.engines.java.JavaEngine, java |
| * javaclass = org.apache.bsf.engines.javaclass.JavaClassEngine, class |
| * javascript = org.apache.bsf.engines.javascript.JavaScriptEngine, js |
| * jpython = org.apache.bsf.engines.jpython.JPythonEngine, py |
| * judoscript = com.judoscript.BSFJudoEngine, judo|jud |
| * jython = org.apache.bsf.engines.jython.JythonEngine, py |
| * lotusscript = org.apache.bsf.engines.lotusscript.LsEngine, lss |
| * netrexx = org.apache.bsf.engines.netrexx.NetRexxEngine, nrx |
| * objectscript = oscript.bsf.ObjectScriptEngine, os |
| * perl = org.apache.bsf.engines.perl.PerlEngine, pl |
| * pnuts = pnuts.ext.PnutsBSFEngine, pnut |
| * prolog = ubc.cs.JLog.Extras.BSF.JLogBSFEngine, plog|prolog |
| * rexx = org.rexxla.bsf.engines.rexx.RexxEngine, rex | rexx | cls | rxj | rxs |
| * ruby = org.jruby.javasupport.bsf.JRubyEngine, rb |
| * xslt = org.apache.bsf.engines.xslt.XSLTEngine, xslt |
| |
| In addition, there may be additional scripting languages made available for |
| being used in the BSF framework that are not listed here. |
| |
| Information on where to obtain some of these scripting languages for use with BSF |
| is available on the Related Projects page at the BSF web site |
