Integrating Scripting Languages

This page should be extended with more concrete and detailed information. For now, we have the following information:

• There will be a talk at ApacheCon US 08 in New Orleans about creating JSR-223 ScriptEngineFactory and ScriptEngine implementaitons as well as how to integrate such implementations with Sling.
• From a mail on the mailing list, this is a very condensed how-to:
  • Create the ScriptEngine[Factory] implementations
  • Create a bundle comprising the above implementations as well as the script language implementation.
  • Create the META-INF/services/javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory file listing the fully qualified name of your ScriptEngineFactory implementaiton

Notes on ScriptEngines

• XSLT Processing Pipeline — Explains how to use the XSLT processing support (script extension .xpl)
