Does GroovyShell cache the compiled scripts?

Question

I plan to embed groovy in my application and use GroovyShell programatically - I will run the same script with different parameters several times with different parameters.

Does GroovyShell caches the compiled script or does it work only as a stateless interpreter?

Answer 1

I don't think it caches the scripts. Take a look at the code. Unless the comments are wrong, the scripts are not cached. Line 511.
