I'm a little confused. What would one hope to gain by doing this?
I'm not that much of an expert on Tomcat or its "ecological niche", but in a general
overall point of view, I would tend to say that anything that "opens up" tomcat to more
programmers and more users cannot really be a bad thing.
As an example, maybe off-track : there are a lot of web applications based on ruby,
python, javascript, perl, php, etc.. Mostly, they are based on development frameworks
similar to the ones for JSP pages, only written in something else than java. Porting
these to tomcat using the CGI model is not really practical, and translating them to Java
and JSP isn't either. (Apart from the fact that in order to really dominate java, you
pretty much have to spend all your time on it.)
So if this "javax.script" would provide a shortcut to run, with minimal adaptations, pages
written using some of these other languages, if only temporarily and as a prototype, why not ?
Of course there is a cost, and as Christopher previously pointed out, some previous
attempt at this did not seem to have had many takers, and it pretty much seems to have
died by lack of interest.
But then again, in terms of market coverage as a webserver, the cost for tomcat to be
"single language centric", is certainly not null either.

Does anyone know of any tutorials that would demonstrate how to use any
javax.script
language in
JSPs instead of Java (e.g. using Jython or JavaScript instead)?
If not, any advice/hint how to realize/create such a functionality (for then
creating
such a
tutorial instead) would be highly appreciated!
