| <section name="What is the Fulcrum Script Service?"> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Fulcrum Script Service provides an integration of the |
| JSR 223 specifiation to integrate scripting languages. |
| Basically this is the successor of the existing Fulcrum BSF |
| and Fulcrum Groovy service. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| When you are using JDK 1.5 then you need Bean Scripting |
| Framework (bsf-api-3.0-beta2.jar). If you are using |
| JDK 1.6 then the library will do no harm and you use |
| the JDK 1.6 built-in implementation of JSR-223. |
| </p> |
| |
| <subsection name="Features"> |
| <p> |
| The Fulcrum Script Service provides the following features: |
| <ul> |
| <li>optional caching of scripts to improve performance</li> |
| <li>optional script compilation depending on the scripting engine</li> |
| <li>seamless integration with the existing Avalon infrastructure</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
