running a groovy script in a jelly script

[Jeff Underwood]

Is it possible to run a groovy script within a jelly script?

thank.

The first question I'd ask is why on earth you wanted to do that.

Technically you can run any code with jelly, it's just a case of laboriously working out all the objects you need and the methods to call on them, and then using a syntax that would make you tear your hair out. So technically yes, you can get the ScriptManager instance and run a groovy script.

If you explained why you wanted to do this I could probably give some more targeted advice.

my first thought was i wanted to run it as a service. I saw "run jelly script" as a built in option. I actually found something you wrote i think that offers up this class:

com.onresolve.jira.groovy.GroovyService

My initial solution was, since i don't know jelly, was to figure out how to run the groovy script within jelly. With the above class, I don't need to. I hope that explains the odd request.
