Hi, Because of the concern on the Rhino's GPL license. We would like to find some LGPL or comercial javascript engine supported by BSF. So far, I found only one which is FESI. But it looks pretty old. Anybody here used any javascript engine other than Rhino?

The real reason is with the original authors, maybe Sanjiva, if he reads this, could shed some light on this. However there may be one (good) reason: security. One never can be sure who writes which scripts. So for security reasons it makes sense to give no one the ability to figure out what the ObjectRegistry holds. The Java hosts (Java programs that dispatch scripts via BSF) would know what they put into the registry for the scripts to interact/work with, so for the scripts that would not really be a shortcoming. In the case that one needs to make a collection of Java objects available to the scripts, then one is able to register a collection object for the script. HTH, ---rony P.S.: The nice thing about FOSS is that in the case that you really hit a barrier you do not want to cope with, that you can go back to the sources and enhance/change/tailor the code to your needs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Get your own web address.
