Abstract

JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, and other scripting languages are popular choices for developing web-based (and other kinds of) applications. Java SE 6 recognizes their popularity by providing a new Scripting API, which lets you develop applications that are partly based on Java and partly based on scripting languages. This chapter explores the Scripting API via the following topics:

  • Scripting API fundamentals

  • The Scripting API and JEditorPane

  • The Scripting API with JRuby and JavaFX Script
