Is OSGi fundamentally incompatible with JSR-223 Scripting Language Discovery?

Question

I\'ve recently written a small specialist scripting language and used the Maven to export an OSGi compliant bundle that also exports a service descriptor into the \"ME

Answer 1

Apache Sling does use this mechanism in an OSGi environment to manage its JSR-233 compatible script engines, mostly via its ScriptEngineManagerFactory class [1]. See also [2] for an example custom script engine.

Adding your script engine to Sling should work if it's JSR-233 compatible. The simplest way to test that is probably to follow the "Sling in 15 minutes" tutorial [3] using your language instead of the server-side javascript language that's used there.
