Groovy Support

Oracle Utilities Cloud Service supports Groovy for extensions via the script engine, and augments the Java and Scripting support to provide alternatives. The implementation of Groovy has some limitations for security reasons:

• Groovy APIs with direct access to operating system functions have been block listed for security reasons and therefore cannot be used. Alternative functions are provided to provide safe access to selected operating system functions.

• Access to Groovy syntax is governed by an allowlist that defines the valid subset of Groovy classes available for the Oracle Utilities Cloud Service. Refer to the allowlist on the Sidebar zone of the Script maintenance function for more information about the supported classes.
