Hi David:
How can I use BSH to write a service? I don't mean embed a BSH call
inside XML, I mean can I, today write a service using BSH? If so, thats
great! How do I set this up?
Regards,
Ruth

How would this be different from the java, groovy, bsh, jython, and other
scripting languages supported right now by the service engine?
I'll tell you what's really cool about supporting all of these languages, and
for work groups allowing people to use whatever they want: the end result
requires an enormous skill set to maintain. Also, with less structured
languages like java and groovy where you can do whatever you want (and people
most certainly do, whether it is helpful or not for the functionality they are
building), so the result is a lot of inconsistency and higher maintenance costs.

Hi Adrian:
I think I already said what I'd like changed. Perhaps you overlooked this:
Please add a procedural language to the mix. PHP, Groovy, Bean Shell etc. I
don't care which.

Hi Adrian:
To tell the truth, I don't use it to build my services anymore. Too much
trouble to try and figure out each time how it works. Much easier for me to
write Java code.
BTW, don't you find it curious that no other non-committers (aside from the
original inquiry) has anything to say about this?

I tried using the Mini Language to create some Simple Services and I found that
in each situation, CRUD operations were only the tip of the ice-berg as far as
developing applications was concerned. My applications do much more than update
database records. To go beyond CRUD (and simple HTML forms to update the
database) is very cumbersome using the Mini Language.
If you give us examples of things that could be made easier in mini-language,
then we might be able to change the language.
