Hi HuiSheng,
thanks a lot for your reply,

> And I find both evaluateExpression() and evaluateScript() are using evaluate() internal.  There is no different between them.  So we just using evaluateExpression() to do all of work about eval script.  Maybe sometimes it become much confused.
the problem I see here is that a script might get executed with the default expression language instead with the default script language, this part of the source is indeed very confusing can't we just remove the evaluateExpression() and evaluateScript() and in general use the evaluate() method and throw an exception if the execution language is not specified, this would be more in line with the rest of the code in my opinion.

I didn't think of this, but it would be a cool feature to have a groovy script write to process variables

I also don't see an urgent need for them, the read contexts are hard coded now as far as I understand?
The write context would be where ever the variable is declared?

Could they be used to have access to task scoped and execution scoped variables, at least this would make sense to me :-/ right now the TaskContext just gives access to the task itself, so a script can do stuff like task.getVariable('varname')
