Well the current implementations of the Rhino and Velocity ScriptEngines just set the respective variables as global variables. Scripts are free to redefine these variables at will. I mean for those use cases (probably most ?) having the most important stuff readily available is quite usefull: Many people will be ready to use request, response and (JSP people prominently) out. > Additionally, you could sub-class the sling-helper easily, so that a > script engine can come with its own sling-helper that provides > additional convenience methods and can wrap the request, response and > resource in host objects, as I intend to do for Rhino. ScriptEngine are implementations are free to do that: They get a Map of entries intended to be set as global variables for the script. They can of course do whatever they like with and to this map.
