since I have java 8 installed, I already have that capability! I tested some javascript on a page using {{script language="javascript"}} and it works perfectly. The reason I wanted to do this, is I am using an entry validation library to validate user input in the browser, but of course you would want to re-validate on the server side, and why duplicate efforts in velocity, when you already have the library in javascript?

Note that I never tested that, just found it when Googling a bit. Then you use what you suggested in your mail. On Thu, Aug 4, 2016 at 8:30 PM, dullfig <[email protected]> wrote:

Hello:

What would need to happen (install engine?) for me to be able to do the following:

{{script language="javascript"}}

{{/sript}}

in other words, server side javascript
