<DT>public interface <B>BSFEngine</B><DT>extends java.beans.PropertyChangeListener</DL>

<P>
This is the view of a scripting engine assumed by the Bean Scripting
 Framework. This interface is used when an application decides to
 run some script under application control. (This is the reverse of
 the more common situation, which is that of the scripting language
 calling into the application.)
 <p>
 When a scripting engine is first fired up, the initialize() 
 method is called right after construction.
 <p>
 A scripting engine must provide two access points for applications
 to call into them: via function calls and via expression evaluation.
 It must also support loading scripts.
 <p>
 A scripting engine is a property change listener and will be notified
 when any of the relevant properties of the manager change. (See
 BSFManager to see which of its properties are bound.)
