declareBean() vs. registerBean() (Re: overhead of new BSFManager()

[Rony G. Flatscher]

Hi Linda,

there is a difference between declaring and registering a bean:
declareBean() tries to inform the BSF engine explicitly about the bean,
such - if supported by the language - that it gets implicitly defined
for the script, whereas declared beans need to be looked up by the
script before being able to use it.

Or with other words: have the script look-up the bean before using it.
E.g., in Javascript:

    myBean = bsf.lookupBean ("myBean");  /* retrieve a registered Java
    object */

HTH,
