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.

I don't use TclBlend, so I can't comment on its suitability for you. Yes, the 'java' package for TclBlend and Jacl allow your Tcl scripts to interact with Java objects. Jacl is certainly quite easy to integrate into Java. Expect has been ported to run in Jacl, so it likely depends on which other extensions your Tcl scripts use. Tcl-only extensions may or may not work, depending mostly on the Tcl version for which any particular extension was written. Any extension using the 'fileevent' command won't work in Jacl (yet!)

Thanx Tom, I tried this and expect4j certainly works a treat. Unfort I have ran into trouble as I now need to require other packages, to talk to a piece of Spirent Test Kit, which rely on a particular tcl version, and features which have not been implemented in JACL. Going to give TCLBlend ago now.

Seamus: What exactly features are not implemented in JACL that you need ? I'm modernizing JACL, now. I'm bringing JACL to Tcl8.4 level.

Most Tcl packages/extensions are, like Tcl itself, written in C not Java and and therefore are not available under Jacl unless the package owners are prepared to rewrite the code in Java and maintain two development streams which is a real headache. Only packages/extensions written in Java or pure Tcl can be used with Jacl one example being Tcllib. http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/ 2009/8/31 Radosław Szulgo <rs...@gm...> > Seamus: What exactly features are not implemented in JACL that you need > ?

This is a list of the pure Tcl packages in Tcllib that should in theory work with an Tcl 8.4 compatible Jacl implementation. http://docs.activestate.com/activetcl/8.4/tcllib/toc.html On the other hand the tclx extension won't work because it's written in C. http://docs.activestate.com/activetcl/8.4/tclx/TclX.n.html 2009/8/31 Radosław Szulgo <rs...@gm...> > Seamus: What exactly features are not implemented in JACL that you need > ?

Radek, Sorry, I had read somewhere that the socket feature had not been implemented in JACL but I believe it now is. Tcl Blend is more suited in my situation due to the number of external packages that I load in. E.g GPIB Thanks for your reply.
