Yes, this should be possible with the ObjectRegistry, something like:
* create an ObjectRegistry object, register the beans that you want
to share among different scripts with it,
o while creating an ObjectRegistry you could also supply an
existing ObjectRegistry possessing the registered objects to
the constructor. That passed ObjectRegistry object will
serve as a "parent" which is looked up, if the new
ObjectRegistry does not have the sought entry, serving as a
fall-back registry.
* set the BSFManager's ObjectRegistry using setObjectRegistry().
Also, you could get the ObjectRegistry object from a BSFManager with
getObjectRegistry() and supply it to a different instance of BSFManager,
in the case that scripts created entries there which should be referred
to in other scripts.
Just try it out.
