Sounds good.

That may only work if the scala interpreter supports templated scripts
like JSP does. If the scala interpreter expects pure Scala code, this
will most probably blow it away ... The JavaScript support has both:
plain Java Script (indicated by the file extension .ecma) and templated
script (extension .esp). When reading .esp data, all template text is
on-the-fly converted to pure java by wrapping in out.write() statements.
But, naming the script as html.scala is correct provided your
ScriptEngine provider supports the .scala extension.

No, probably the code is just not Scala code and your Scala interpreter
bombs. Try to wrap the above HTML code with Scala output generation
statements and try again.
I assume you have got some Exceptions from the Scala interpreter when
running above file as a Scala script. Have a look at the log file.

Provided your ScriptEngineFactory is registered for the right file
extension, it should work out of the box.
Hope this helps.
