FAQPage Schema
How do I embed a scripting engine in Java for dynamic business rules?

You can embed a scripting engine in Java using JSR-223 integration to execute BoxLang code at runtime. This enables dynamic business rules and configurable workflows without recompiling JVM application code.

How do I use JSR-223 ScriptEngineManager to execute BoxLang scripts?

Instantiate the BoxLang ScriptEngine via ScriptEngineManager, register the engine under the name 'BoxLang', and evaluate scripts directly. Data exchange is handled through Bindings to pass Java objects and retrieve results.

Can I pass Java objects to a JSR-223 script engine and get results back?

Yes, you can pass Java objects to the JSR-223 script engine and retrieve results using Bindings. This data exchange mechanism allows seamless integration between your Java application and the BoxLang runtime.

What is runtime scripting for JVM applications used for?

Runtime scripting for JVM applications is used for template processing, configurable workflows, and dynamic business logic. It provides a lightweight scripting layer that enables runtime configurability without requiring code recompilation.

Does BoxLang require JSR-223 compliance for Java integration?

Yes, BoxLang requires JSR-223 ScriptEngine integration for Java embedding. The engine must be registered under the name 'BoxLang' through the ScriptEngineManager to function properly within JVM-based software.
