[David Ward (JIRA)]

David Ward commented on JBAS-5249:
----------------------------------

I would like to see bsf (bean scripting framework) upgrade to 2.4.0 as well, but also upgrade bsh (beanshell) to 2.0b4 (it's currently at 1.3.0).  Both upgrades need to be done together.  Don't be afraid of the "b" in the beanshell version.  2.0b4 is far better/faster/more stable than 1.3.0.  It's also been out for a long time, and probably is going to be the best it's going to be for the foreseeable future.

I recently wrote a ScriptingAction for our ESB (part of our SOA-P), and Kevin Conner got it in and released as part of ESB 4.4.  Unfortunately, they were not empowered to upgrade the bsf and bsh versions because it would first have to be changed in EAP, so we had to make do with the more limited language support of the older versions.

So, if my assumption is correct, we first need to upgrade bsf+bsh in JBoss.org AS, which can then be folded into JBoss EAP, which can then be folded into JBoss.org ESB and then SOA-P, right?

BTW, here are the ESB JIRA issue, code, and forum links:

> JBoss as comes with bsf.jar version 2.3.0. 
> It would be good to upgrade to version 2.4.0 to ease compatibility with third party scripting frameworks such as Rhino javascript engine
> For instance with bsf 2.3.0 latest rhino you can use is 1.5R3 which is dated in year 2002. 
> If I just replace bsf.jar from apache site, I can use latest Rhino implementation with no problems. 
> It also seems that there are no issues with AS.
