Hi, We ended up to use thread-local script engines [1] in Spring 4.2 for Javascript libraries not designed for concurrency like React or Handlebars. Based on my initial tests, it works pretty well. The main remaining open question is about the memory consumption, since it creates one ScriptEngine instance by thread. If we see some blocking issues regarding this topic, we may eventually experiment with a synchronized ScriptEngine pool, but I hope the thread-local approach will be fine.
