[tcljava-user] Suitability of Tcl Blend

[Seamus M. <sea...@ho...>]

Hi,

 

Just
wondering if anyone can help..

I would
like to know if TclBlend is right for me.

 

We have a test
framework in Java and would like to directly call legacy TCL scripts.  These scripts include packages like Expect so
I am not sure that JACL is suitable. That’s why I’m looking at TclBlend.  I see that it’s possible to call java directly
from TCL using “package require java” e.g. java::import java.net.InetAddress.  But is it possible to carry out standard TCL
commands from JAVA? 

 

One thing I see is that I could use tcl.lang.evalFile to run a tcl script from java but I have a few queries.a) Can I pass arguments to the script?b) Can the Tcl script include Expect? 

 

If all else
fails, I realise that I can call the tcl script directly as I would an
executable from JAVA.

 

Any
help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Seamy
