Script Languages

The Metamerge Integrator supports variety of script languages.  Some information is to be found under Script Parsers, mostly what function you must provide in order to make a Parser.  However, in order to use a script language, it must install the language.  

Only one script language can be used inside the AssemblyLine itself, but you can of course have any supported language within a script Connector (but not in a script Component!).  When you set up your AssemblyLine, chose the script language and stick to it.  Changing the script language will not change the existing code:  This also applies to code that the Integrator writes for you, such as the simple attribute mapping.

Internally in the Metamerge product, Beans Scripting Framework (BSF) is used to plug in new script languages.  BSF supports Windows Scripting Hosts (WSH), and some of the script languages supported are supported through WSH:  Visual Basic and Perl are two examples.  Of course, script languages supported through WSH are only available on Windows platforms. 

The requirements are described below:

Java Script: No special requirements. However, unless might want to read the page discussing comparing strings with JavaScript.  The included JavaScript interpreter is Rhino 1.4R3.  Refer to the FAQ if you want to replace this with a newer version.

BSF (Bean Scripting Framwork) based script languages

Bean Shell (not supported, but you can still try it)

WSH (Windows Scripting Host) based script languages

Perl

Visual Basic
