Abstract
This invention provides a system and method that allows object oriented (OOP) applications to incorporate scripting easily and in a uniform manner. The Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) supports scripting on the OOP programming language-side, where the programming language runs and evaluates scripts, and also in cases where scripts run and control objects. The BSFManager provides scripting services for the application program as well as support services for scripting engines to interact with the OOP programming language runtime environment. The BSF also has a registry of known scripting languages which the application program can interact with. The scripting architecture allows OOP programming language applications to be customized and managed further downstream than previously possible.
