Also JavaScript with Rhino, and that gives you the big four - Groovy, 
JRuby, Rhino, and Jython. PHP would good but i've never found a PHP impl 
with Java integration and a compatible license. You can also use the 
JSR-223 APIs (Apache BSF) and get easy access to lots of lesser well 
known script language engines. I've done a bit with all those in Tuscany 
so will be interested to see what happens in Geronimo.

Thanks for the input.  Yes, I thought about BSF too.   Regarding the 
others languages (Python, Rhino, Jython and PHP) licenses could be 
issues .... have to keep an eye on that.  I thought about BSF too ... 
need to do some more research there.  Actually, at this point it's all 
just some investigation and we'll see where it goes.
