Gary, There is a test application (that comes with the plugin download) that should give you an ok place to keep the code and sample workflow to provide inputs and get outputs back. I think the sample stuff only allowed for 5 inputs and 5 outputs, but extending that was easy.
A real "down side" to the beanshell approach is that the "errors" are not very helpful. ( A simple syntax error looks like a compile time error, because that is where/when it is found. And the error is something like... "unable to parse". Not very helpful.) With the v7.1 Java plugins at least they should be build able with an IDE to help with such things. (But I have not yet found the time to put together a better test env for the beanshell stuff. (Mostly because I kept hearing about a better Java API and a "Java plugin server"... Oh well.) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap.... Pick two.
