| Mishell provides an interactive console | |
| that executes scripts in different scripting languages. | |
| Running mishell: | |
| JRE 6 is needed (because of javax.script). Mishell provides some built-in commands and interprets ruby, javascript or any other language that you | |
| configure. You can also load scripts with the load command. Type 'help' for available commands. | |
| You can see an example of configuring Felix for launching both Jmood and mishell in the same OSGi platform in the FelixLauncher | |
| class in the src/test/java dir. Remember to change the paths to match your installation. | |
| The initial object that is exported to the scripting engine is a JMoodProxyManager that extends | |
| the general-purpose MBeanProxyManager (from the jmxintrospector project) to simplify working with JMood. | |
| For example, when running on OSGi with JMood you can add the mbeans by typing: | |
| $manager.addLocalServer(nil) #Ruby NOTE: This has been fixed in latest versions and should be fixed | |
| or | |
| manager.addLocalServer(null) //Javascript | |
| And you issue commands like | |
| $manager.objects.each{|mbean| puts mbean.objectName} #this lists the objectnames for all mbeans known to the shell | |
| IMPORTANT: | |
| Dependencies that need to be manually installed: | |
| 1. It needs Java 6 to work (as it depends on javax.script API). | |
| Once that API is stable and released standalone, it should also work in Java 5. | |
| 2. It needs JMX introspector. | |
| By default, the only available engine is the javascript bundled with Java 6. To add new ones, you need to | |
| install the bundles. For example for ruby: | |
| - It needs classes from com.sun.jruby.* and from org.jruby. The easiest way is to bundle both together | |
| and export both packages in order to run ruby. | |
| - The binding is available at https://scripting.dev.java.net/ and licensed | |
| under the BSD license. Download the jsr223-engines.[zip|tar.gz] | |
| and install the jruby-engine.jar | |
| - JRuby is available at http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/ under a tri-license: CPL/LGPL/GPL | |
| located at engines/jruby/build/jruby-engine.jar. JRuby implementation | |
| 4. If you want to use any other language, you should: | |
| - Create and install a bundle (or more) that contain the necessary classes and export the packages. | |
