We discussed this today and think mime type support is a good idea. Apparently we briefly looked at the Java APIs a year ago but we'll plan to do another review to compare and contrast the two.

Java 6 introduced javax.script hosting API. http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/script/package-summary.html For example, ScriptRuntime corresponds to Java's ScriptEngineManager. We can compare API to get scripting engine for the given language. DLR ScriptEngine GetEngine(string languageId) ScriptEngine GetEngineByFileExtension(string extension) javax.script ScriptEngine getEngineByName(String shortName) ScriptEngine getEngineByExtension(String extension) ScriptEngine getEngineByMimeType(String mimeType) Is getEngineByMimeType a good idea? Similar comparisons can be made for all other APIs too. -- Seo Sanghyeon _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
