ADeLa

ADeLa is a scripting language that allows you to add scripting functionality to your java projects.

You provide simple interfaces for functions you wish to export to the scripts. Then, you write scripts that use these functions. If used properly, these scripts can come from untrusted sources.

ADeLa is designed to be

Simple. You can embed ADeLa into your application without much effort. You give the scripts java objects they need to operate on, and they do so using a well defined, simple to implement interface.
Integratable. ADeLa scripts operate directly on java objects. Each class can define how it is accessed from the script by implementing an interface. Alternatively, you can give the interpreter another class that handles objects of a certain class. For example, there is a class to handle native java string objects. After the script processed java objects, it can pass them right back to the java program, either by a callback or simply by returning a value.
Secure. ADeLa scripts run in a sandbox which is safe as long as your code doesn't put something dangerous in the sandbox (i.e., giving the scripts access to the local filesystem, network, etc.). While you will probably pass java object handles to the ADeLa scripts, these handles are accessed by the scripts only in well-defined ways. If you pass the script an instance of an unknown class, the script will not be able to operate on it at all. Note: the current version doesn't prevent DoS attacks. You'll have to run the script in a separate thread and cancel it after a certain runtime if you wish to catch/expect DoS attacks to occur. This issue will be addressed in the next release.
