Anthony Eden has some interesting things to say on the subject of scripting Java applications.

Naturally, there are loads of options available for scripting Java apps, and choosing the right one can be difficult. Unless you are a Python bigot, like me, in which case the answer is obvious. ;-)

The Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) looks fascinating, though. BSF is a scripting framework which allows you to use any one of a number of languages to script your Java app, of which Jython is only one.

We are hoping to get Anthony over to talk at Python 2003 on scripting Java applications with Jython.

JPublish looks interesting, too.

I have The Pragmatic Programmer, naturally, but I didn't realise that the Quick Reference Guide was on-line.

I have mentioned Prevayler before. Now Patrick K. O'Brien is building a Python version - PyPerSyst.

I remain a little dubious about the approach used by Prevayler (and PyPerSyst), but I'll be very interested to see the results.
