Java CAPS Management and Monitoring APIs

Downloading, Installing, and Setting Up A Scripting Environment

For the purposes of this topic, we will focus on four scripting engines:

Groovy: The Java CAPS Management and Monitoring API has been tested and works with Groovy 1.0, Groovy 1.1 beta 1, and with the latest Groovy 1.1 beta 2. Use the installation instructions that are available to install the engine, and ensure that it runs properly. Download Groovy from http://groovy.codehaus.org/.
JRuby: The Java CAPS Management and Monitoring API has been tested and works with JRuby 1.0 and with the latest JRuby 1.0.1. Use the installation instructions that are available to install the engine, and ensure that it runs properly. Download JRuby from http://jruby.codehaus.org/.
Jython (Java Python): The Java CAPS Management and Monitoring API has been tested and works with Jython 2.2 RC1 and with the latest Jython 2.2. Use the installation instructions that are available to install the engine, and ensure that it runs properly. Download Jython from http://www.jython.org/Project/index.html.
JACL (Java TCL): The Java CAPS Management and Monitoring API has been tested and works with the latest JACL 1.4.0. Use the installation instructions that are available to install the engine, and ensure that it runs properly. You may have to modify jaclsh.bat in the bin folder as described in the readme.txt file that is included with the download. My bin/jaclsh.bat looks like this after modification. Download JACL from http://tcljava.sourceforge.net/docs/website/index.html.

Note –

The sample files for the services (for example: AdministrationServiceSample.groovy) and the Target option behavior are zipped, and are included with the Java CAPS 6 delivery.
