ScriptEngine doesn't write output into Writer
Hi!
I've just tried to use the new JSR 223 in Java SE 6. I have the following code snippet:
ScriptEngine engine =new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("php");
ScriptContext ctx = engine.getContext();
StringWriter writer =new StringWriter();
ctx.setWriter(writer);
try{
engine.eval("<? echo 'test'; ?>");
}catch (ScriptException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("Output:" + writer);
This code results in the following output:
Output:test
So far so good. If I don't use the quercus php engine (http://quercus.caucho.com/) but for example a Ruby engine (JRuby + JSR 223-libs from scripting.dev.java.net) I always get the wrong output:
test
Output:
Which means that the Ruby engine and some other engines like python doesn't care about the StringWriter object I passed, but instead puts the output directly on the Java console. Unfortunately I need the output for further processing. So my question is, if this is a bug of some engines or isn't the use of the Writer mandatory by the JSR 223 specification?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best wishes
