Advantages of using jython vs. jacl in wsadmin scripting (WebSphere Application Server 7+)


Facing the programming for the wsadmin scripting client I see that you can use both jacl and jython.

I've the same level of confidence with both two languages.

I'm wondering if, in the specific of wsadmin programming , there are advantages of using one language over the other; such as robustness, availability of examples or libraries for websphere administration, or something like that arisen from your experience in the use and building of this kind of scripts.


Solution

  • Jython is the language to prefer:

    When selecting a scripting language, Jython is the strategic direction as the administration scripting language for WebSphere Application Server because future enhancements of the scripting language is focused on the use of Jython.
