Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I added a jira for this.  If Gary's idea is acceptable, and it turns out not 
to be too risky, we could probably do this for 1.6.1 (not sure when the 
release date would be)

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I see the need to write some gsh scripts with 
loops and conditionals.  Collapsing them into one line really hurts 
maintainability.

It would be very useful if gsh was BeanShell + Grouper (looks like that's the 
design intent of BeanShell.)

I'm sure you are right. GSH doesn't have any parsing capability of its own 
-it just passes each line to bean shell - so, in order not to break what is 
there, we would have to introduce additional syntax to allow multi-line 
commands e.g. use a \ at the end of any line that continues, build up the 
string and pass to bean shell when we get a line not ending with \
