Hi, there. I have been using freemarker :-). I'd like to clarify if I
could do the similar way to that of freemarker
in freemarker, I could do during program init (main thread)
class Main{
static Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
static cfg.setDirectoryForTemplateLoading(new File("dir"));
static Template temp = cfg.getTemplate("test.ftl");
}
then in any other methods (whatever thread it could be) just do
Map root = .... (fillup data model)
Main.temp.process(root,....)
I have not seen an example for rhino to do this way. The template would
only do normal template processing.
no fancy stuff. Can Rhino have a mode to do this way with thread safety
gurranteed.
Thanks very much.

Anyway, this too is possible. In one context (say, the one that also
compiles the script, although this is not strictly necessary):
globalScope = cx.initStandardObjects();
then in the repeated contexts (i.e. those handling HTTP requests),
just do:
ScriptablelocalScope = cx.newObject(globalScope);
localScope.setPrototype(globalScope);
although you will likely also need to create the contexts through a
context factory that returns true for
hasFeature(FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SCOPE) if you do that. Anyway, you can try
without that actually, but if you run into weird behaviour with
properties missing in the global scope. Also, be aware that now the
global scope became shared mutable state between threads. If your JS
scripts are good citizens, and don't do fancy stuff like redefine the
Array constructor or such (that is, treat the stuff in global scope as
immutable) then you'll be fine.

following
(it is ok to disable some features such as concurrentcy within JS to
make it happen)
public static context = Context.enter(); public static
globalCompiledScript = context.compile(script)
public static globalScope = .....
(the above is done in main thread , not threadlocal, just done once
during program init)
then in each thread,
localScope = ..... (localscope backdropped by globalscope)
globalCompiledScript .exec(localscope)
Most other template engines work this way. would it be possible for
Rhino?

Thanks. I have many threads come and go instead of a fixed pool so
the overhead is big.
I hope rhino to have a mode that would allow a preloaded/compiled JS
(template) to be executed repeatedly
with different scope (essentially a template engine ) to produce an
output string.
the template would run in only single thread before producing the
output.
Equivalent of Freemarker engine. Would it be possible? Or because of
this issue,
Rhino has not been widely used as template engine for Java, compared
to others like
velocity/freemarker.
This should definitely not be a problem.
In ESXX, for instance, I have an ExecutorService with a ThreadFactory
that enters/leaves a JS context as part of the thead's lifespan. These
threads then handles requests by calling functions in a JS application
scope. The application scope is set up once when the JS app is loaded,
by executing the pre-compiled JS scripts files (using
Context.compileString()) with it.
If you want your requests to execute isolated from each other, you can
simply create a new global scope and execute the compiled script
with it
for each request.
(It's also possible to mix these strategies by having a shared
top-level
scope and using the prototype chain to add per-request scopes (needs
Context.FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SCOPE, I think), but I could never quite get
this to work properly, since in ESXX, I need to allow arbitrary Java
threads to call JS functions, and there were some issues that I have
forgotten about now.)
