Embedding Groovy

Groovy, a dynamic language specifically for Java, is making headlines because of its ease of use and speed of development. The best part about Groovy is that any Java application can use it via embedded Groovy. This talk will cover everything you need to know to embed Groovy in you Java application.

In this talk we will cover all the basics of embedding Groovy scripts into a Java application. We'll discuss the GroovyScriptEngine, GroovyClassLoader and GroovyShell and how each works. We'll also cover reloading of Groovy Classes on the fly when they change in order to eliminate the code-compile-deploy cycle.

Attendees should walk away with the ability to embed Groovy into any Java application and understand the differences between the three methods of embedding.
