Calling a Groovy function from Java

Question

How do you call a function defined in a Groovy script file from Java?

Example groovy script:

def hello_world() {
   println \"Hello, world!\"
}
         


        

Answer 1

You too can use the Bean Scripting Framework to embed any scripting language into your Java code. BSF give you the opportunity of integrate other languages, but is not native integration.

If you are clearly focused to use Groovy the GroovyScriptEngine is the most complete solution.
