Java scripting languages: Which is right for you?

submited by krishnas on Tue Aug 14th, 2007

Some Java applications' requirements make integration with a scripting language necessary. For example, your users may need to write scripts that drive the application, extend it, or contain loops and other flow-control constructs. In such cases, it's sensible to support a scripting language interpreter that can read user scripts, then run them against your Java application's classes. To accomplish that task, run a Java-based scripting language interpreter in the same JVM as your application.
