Interface CommandProcessor

public interface CommandProcessor

A Command Processor is a service that is registered by a script engine that can execute commands. A Command Processor is a factory for Command Session objects. The Command Session maintains execution state and holds the console and keyboard streams. A Command Processor must track any services that are registered with the COMMAND_SCOPE and COMMAND_FUNCTION properties. The functions listed in the COMMAND_FUNCTION property must be made available as functions in the script language. TODO The javadoc in this class need a good scrub before release.
