Francesco Chicchiriccò commented on SYNCOPE-956:
------------------------------------------------
After some re-consideration, Groovy appears much more suitable than Javascript:
# Groovy classes are very similar to their Java counterparts
# Spring's {{@Autowired}} and {{@Transactional}} can be used
# no need of "supporting" Java implementations delegating the actual
implementation to different JS scripts
Anyway, Javascript support can always be added in the future, if considered
worth.
> Allow for scripted customizations

> Key: SYNCOPE-956
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-956
> Project: Syncope
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Francesco Chicchiriccò
> Assignee: Francesco Chicchiriccò
> Labels: groovy
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> The core can be customized in [several
> ways|http://syncope.apache.org/docs/reference-guide.html#customization-core];
> all customizations require to be written as Java classes - which is generally
> good but requires redeploy to be made effective, unless some class reloading
> mechanism is in place (as JRebel).
> By leveraging Groovy, we could overcome such limitation and allow to write
> customizations which can be immediately available for execution at runtime.
> Once implemented in the core, such feature will require editing capabilities
> to be added to console and IDE plugins.
