Learning More . . .

BeanShell has many more features than I’ve described here. You can embed BeanShell into your applications as a lightweight scripting engine, passing live Java objects into and out of scripts. You can even run BeanShell in a remote server mode, which lets you work in a shell inside your running application, for debugging and experimentation. There is also a BeanShell servlet that can be used for running scripts inside an application server.

BeanShell is small (only about 200 KB) and it’s free, licensed under multiple open source licenses. You can learn more by checking out the full user’s manual and FAQ on the website.

Please feel free to send feedback using the book’s web page. So long until the next edition!
