BSF allows one to write JSPs in languages other than Java while providing access to the Java class library. In addition, BSF permits any Java application to be implemented in part (or dynamically extended) by a language that is embedded within it. This is achieved by providing an API that permits calling scripting language engines from within Java, as well as an object registry that exposes Java objects to these scripting language engines. BSF supports several scripting languages currently: * Javascript (using Rhino ECMAScript, from the Mozilla project) * Python (using either Jython or JPython) * Tcl (using Jacl) * NetRexx (an extension of the IBM REXX scripting language in Java) * XSLT Stylesheets (as a component of Apache XML project's Xalan and Xerces) In addition, the following languages are supported with their own BSF engines: * Java (using BeanShell, from the BeanShell project) * JRuby * JudoScript -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Change for system JDK from 17 to 21. upstream security release 122.0.6261.94 High CVE-2024-1938: Type Confusion in V8 High CVE-2024-1939: Type Confusion in V8 fixedbug with requires Automatic update for lucene-9.9.2-1.fc40. bump java source/target to 1.8, fixes 2266639 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Mar 2 2024 Jiri Vanek - 2.4.0-54 - Rebuilt for java-21-openjdk as system jdk * Sat Mar 2 2024 Mikolaj Izdebski - 2.4.0-53 - Enable javadocs * Fri Mar 1 2024 Jiri Vanek - 2.4.0-52 - bump of release for for java-21-openjdk as system jdk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #2123726 - consoleImageViewer crashes at start https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2123726 [ 2 ] Bug #2261062 - directory-maven-plugin: FTBFS in Fedora rawhide/f40 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2261062 [ 3 ] Bug #2266639 - directory-maven-plugin fails to build with java-21-openjdk https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2266639 [ 4 ] Bug #2266934 - CVE-2024-1938 chromium: type confusion [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2266934 [ 5 ] Bug #2266937 - CVE-2024-1939 chromium: type confusion [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2266937 [ 6 ] Bug #2267486 - Include Java 21 as system Java Change in Fedora 40 Beta https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2267486 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
