Threadsafety of Nashorn ScriptEngines

[Benjamin Sieffert]

Hello everyone,

we are experimentally implementing Nashorn in a little project that is
currently using Rhino for javascript purposes right now. While it is
generally working well, it does not appear to be threadsafe in regards to
scripts generated by / running on the same ScriptEngine object. Now while
NashornScriptEngineFactory does not claim otherwise
(getParameter("THREADING") is null), we did not find any definitive
information on what the ultimate goal of Nashorn is in this regard.
Could you enlighten us?

Best regards
