I'm writing a Cocoa app that will need to be extensible via scripts, but
I don't want to limit it to just AppleScript.
- The scripts all need to do some basic functionality, perhaps
implemented in a library.
- I need to be able to programatically execute any given set of scripts,
regardless of their underlying language.
This sounds to me like something that OSA (Open Scripting Architecture)
would be good for. But a google search found very little information
about OSA, except for Dave from Frontier saying that it wasn't good
enough because Windows and UNIX don't support it.
I also found
<
http://www.mactech.com/articles/develop/issue_18/026-040_SMITH_REV.html>,
which seems good but appears to be a quick summary of information
presented elsewhere.
So I have a few questions:
Where can I find information about OSA?
How would one go about writing code to call OSA scripts?
How can I implement a library of common code that can be called from any
OSA script?
Is OSA what I should even be looking at, or should I go for XML-RPC, or
some other way to distribute all of these?
