Scripting provides a great blend of the raw power and flexibility of writing Java code, with the loose-coupled nature of a declarative runtime such as DPML. You can combine complex logic and algorithms with the ability to call services by issuing sub-requests into the NetKernel URI address space. Scripting performance is very good since all scripts are dynamically compiled and cached and so execute as Java byte-code.

The scripting trailmaps provide scripts which demonstrate common usage patterns:

• Scripted XSLT Pipeline an example of sequencing a set of XML transforms using a loosely typed style.
• Scripted Text 2 Image an example of creating a REST style service with a strongly typed style.
• Compute the Hilbert Curve an example of a complex logic combined with issuing sub-requests.
