This session was all over the map in terms of scripting in an enterprise environment. At first it started as another Groovy session, then it turned into a general JSR 223 which intends to bring scripting to the Java platform in the next major release. What I got most from this session was some additional feature in Groovy such a GStrings. GStrings are Groovy strings that allows you to embed a variable in a string to insert its value. Groovy also provides a poor mans ORM in the form of a DataSet. I also like that fact that you can declare properties in Groovy with an @property annotation, you don’t have to define setter and getter methods.
