To cover Java 1.4 and 1.5 BSF 3.0 got created, which implements the javax.script specifications. If BSF 3.0 is included then the scripting support will be available from Java 1.4 on. Starting with Java 6 the Java 6 javax.script would prevail due to using its own package by placement of the classes. ---rony --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscribe@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-help@tomcat.apache.org
