Script Context

Each element of type ScriptType provides the relevant script context, that is, one or more input objects (in the general sense) to be utilized by the script. For specific details, consult the individual configuration element pages listed above.

...

The default scripting language is JavaScript (language=”javascript”). Therefore all of the sample scripts are written in JavaScript, which is based on the ECMAScript standard. The following table illustrates the relationship between JRE version and ECMAScript version:

Java Version

Default Script Engine

ECMAScript Version

Java

8

Nashorn

ECMAScript 5.1 (June 2011)

Java 9

11+

Nashorn

ECMAScript 5.1 (plus some features of ECMAScript 2015 aka ECMAScript 6)

Java 15+ 

None

Note

Java versions from JDK15 on do not support the Nashorn or the Rhino Language. This will be mitigated started with IdP Version 4.1, but for now it suffices to note that the SystemRequirements only specify Java 11 variants (and as such JDK15 is unsupported).

Still using Rhino?

Consult the Rhino Migration Guide for helpful advice. Alternatively consider using the Rhino Scripting plugin (IdP Versions 4.1 and later)

Since Nashorn is included with Java 8 (and later), the sample scripts aim to conform to ECMAScript 5.1. In particular, the scripts avoid features introduced in ECMAScript 6 (also known as ECMAScript 2015) for compatibility.
