JSR 223 -- WDSCI-L

Does anyone know if IBM plans to support JSR 223 in the WebSphere
Application Server?  JSR 223 is a new specification from that Java Community
Process that lets scripting languages like PHP use Java classes when run in
a Servlet container. For example, here's a test script written in PHP that
uses IBM Toolbox for Java classes to authenticate a user on the iSeries:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php
 try {
   //Set the network name of the iSeries, the user name, and the user
password.
  $clsSystem = new Java("java.lang.String", "mysystem");
  $clsUser = new Java("java.lang.String", "myname");
  $clsPassword = new Java("java.lang.String", "mypassowrd");
  //Create a connection to the iSeries.
  $iSeries = new Java("com.ibm.as400.access.AS400", $clsSystem, $clsUser,
$clsPassword);
  //Authenticate the user and respond to the outcome.
  $uservalid = $iSeries->authenticate($clsUser, $clsPassword);
  if ($uservalid==true) {
   echo("valid user");
  } else {
   echo("invalid user");
  }
 } catch (Exception $e) {
  echo("Error."); 
 }
?>
</body>
</html>

The PHP script could also get the user information from a login form and
start a session to remember the user name and password for subsequent
interactions with the iSeries. No need to code Servlets or JSPs. Just drop
this script in a Java Web application like an HTML page and it works. 

Right now I'm using a basic text editor and the Tomcat Servlet container
(since that was the reference implementation for JSR 223). However, I'd like
to be able to code my scripts in WebSphere Development Studio, test them in
the WebSphere Application Server bundled with the studio, and install them
in WebSphere Application Server Express for production. 

Anyone know IBM's plans for JSR 223 and WebSphere?

Thanks,
Kelly
