How can i generate bytecode (Byte[]) from a String at runtime, without using a ‘javac’ process or something of this sort? is there a simple way of calling the compiler like that?
later addition:
I chose to accept the solution that actually best fits my situation. my application is a hobby-project still in design sketch phase, and it is the right time to consider inserting new technology. also, since the guy that’s supposed to help me with BL is a JavaScript developer, the idea of using a JavaScript interpreter instead of a stub compiler+classLoader seems more appealing to me in this situation. other (unaccepted) answers of this question are informative and, as far as i can tell, answer my question very well, so thanks, but I’m going to try Rhino 🙂
You might find something like rhino or groovy more useful in practice.
