Hi there,
at <https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/beta/20150608/> you'll
find a new beta version
of BSF4ooRexx (an external function package to allow ooRexx access to Java, and
Java access to
ooRexx), a zip-archive for Windows and Linux, and two MacOSX installation
packages, one for 32- and
one for 64-bit ooRexx.
Changes in this beta:
* This version fixes a mixup and an installation issue on 64-bit Windows,
running 32-bit Rexx
(which also needs a 32-bit Java installed). (So Les, you might want to try
this version!)
* This version fullly supports JSR-223 (the Java scripting framework in the
package javax.script),
which means that any Java program can take advantage of ooRexx scripts by
using the Java
scripting standard. Please look-up the samples in "samples/Java/jsr223"
which highlights the
full implementation done for ooRexx, i.e. including the Java interfaces
Compilable and Invocable.
o This beta includes a new external Rexx function called
"BsfContextVariables()", which allows
one to set (drop) local Rexx variables to the values found in a
directory. This features is
exploited in a new nutshell example in "samples/Java/jsr223"; the Rexx
programs there will
get invoked via Java and the new javax.script support and demonstrate
also how to get at the
information in the supplied ScriptContext.
* It would be interesting to learn how it does performancewise as well. So,
if you have a
possibility to test multiple JSR-223 languages and compare them with the
ooRexx scripting
engine, then please share your findings!
If you find bugs, please file them with the sourceforge bsf4oorexx tracker.
