Hi Hannes.
Yes, the second batch gets a new set of script engines.
The java version is 1.8.0_72-b15, so it should be pretty recent. We
haven't tried any of the java 9 ea builds, since our production version
of GlassFish won't run with this.

Hi Jan,
This list is fine for reporting Nashorn related problems.
Is it correct that the second batch of business logic is evaluated
into a completely new set of script engines? In that case I'm not sure
how the problem could be with Nashorn, since different script engines
should not share anything. So that could hint at a problem deeper down
in the implementation of method handles.
If you are using JDK 8_25 (not sure I parse the version string
correctly) one thing you could try is to use a newer JDK 8 update
release. There are a few issues that have been fixed in later releases.

First of all I'm sorry if this is not the right forum for this type
of question, but I haven't been able to find a nashorn-user mailing
list or anything like that.
We have an enterprise application (using GlassFish 4.1 as application
server) which sits in the middle of a processing pipeline receiving
data messages from a JMS queue and applying business logic in the
form of substantial (30.000+ lines) javascripts to said data. The
business logic is user defined, varies on the type of input format,
and as such is not known to us at application startup. The setup in
question allows for 8 concurrent processor threads, where each thread
evals into (and caches) one script engine per unique set of business
logic (the cache is actually on the EJB level and not on the thread
level).
Submitting a batch requiring business-logic-x results in below eval
times:

Subsequently submitting another batch requiring business-logic-y
forcing more script engines to be created (simulated here by clearing
cached script engines from application and resubmitting batch for
business-logic-x) results in much worse performance:

We are not seeing anything out of the ordinary with regard to GC,
apart from survivor space often being near 100% full before objects
are moved to old-gen. Heap and code cache are nowhere near to being
exhausted.
Unfortunately we haven't been able to get java flight recorder to
work with this GlassFish installation, but jvisualvm samples
indicates that 80% of our time is being spent in
java.lang.invoke.MethodHandleNatives.setCallSiteTargetNormal().
We have tried running both single threaded and with a shared script
engine creating separate script contexts, and although we are seeing
much better performance in these cases, we are still seeing an
increase in eval times nonetheless (in the shared engine case, the
eval times of the second batch is a factor 10 less than the numbers
above, but it is still a factor 5 larger than the initial batch).
We are running on java build 25.72-b15.
Any input as to what we might be doing wrong and possibly how to
avoid it would be very much appreciated.
This problem has actually forced us to remain on the Rhino script
engine for the time being.
Kind regards,
