jdk.nashorn.api.scripting.ScriptUtils.wrap

[Kockert, Timo]

Hello everyone,

on October 7th, Richard Evans posted to this mailing list (with the same subject as me):

"Sometime after jdk1.8u32 this method changed to take an internal jdk.nashorn.internal.runtime.ScriptObject argument.  This means that code compiled with 1.8u20 will not work with later releases, and vice versa.

Was this change intentional?  Is this API now fixed for all future jdk1.8 and 1.9 releases?“

I would very much like to know the same thing. Unfortunately, he didn’t get an answer. Could anyone please provide some insights?

We’ve been using Nashorn since early 2015 now and there has been more that one occasion, when a newer JDK behaved differently (in respect to Nashorn) than an older JDK (up to the point of the aforementioned compile error). I guess my real question is, how stable is Nashorn’s API?

Thanks
Timo
