All,

I have a use for having files of gsh scripts to do things like:
        Establish/maintain custom:
                Attributes Defs / AttributeName(s)
                Folder structure
                Groups
                Permissions on folders/groups
                Etc....

        However, I would also like to be able to embed/use those things 
inside other Java code. (hooks, changelog consumer, etc...)

So I am looking for a Java code example for the following:
        1) read a file from the file system (a gsh script) and "execute it".
        2) use a gsh script as an "condition" ( AKA: if the script returns 
"true" then keep running the java code )
                Maybe this would be better done as a JEXL expression? 


I have yet to have some time to spend on this, and I suspect the code already 
exists. I hope someone can point me at it. :)
        I am guessing the example would be how gsh starts up and runs a file 
would be one place.
        And I am guessing the JEXL is "all over the place" in the code too.

Any thoughts on the performance costs of "running a gsh script" vs evaluating 
JEXL expressions?

But maybe I am going about initialization type functions the hard way? 
Are there other facilities for this general kind of function?
