Missed the proposal for this (probably my fault).
I don't have a proposal for this scripting work yet -- I'm trying to figure out what to do. I'm doing the work in the sandbox so that others can see it and offer suggestions.
I would have suggested using BSF (Bean Scripting Framework http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/) so as to accommodate any of the languages that work with BSF (including Groovy and several others)
Yes, BSF is a good way to support multiple scripting languages and I have now gotten BSF to work for Groovy and JavaScript, but not JRuby because it has a conflict with a Hibernate dependency (Hibernate uses an older ASM lib).
I'm not sure if that would work in this particular setting or not. Did you already consider this?
BSF works fine for basic scripting needs, but doesn't allow for Groovlet and GSP style pages because they require that special Groovy-specific objects are put into context (i.e. the "html" MarkupBuilder). Check the README's in the groovy and bsf directories for sample examples. - Dave
