"BSF4Rexx" allows Java programs to easily invoke scripts in Rexx and ooRexx using the Apache "Bean Scripting Framework" (BSF, http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf), it also Rexx and ooRexx programs to interact with Java (class) objects by invoking Java messages, thereby using all of Java as a huge external Rexx function package.

Development by Rony G. Flatscher started, after one of his students, Peter Kalender, was able to successfully carry out a proof of concept for the ski-seminar in the wintersemester 2000/2001 (University of Essen, Germany). Work and continued improvements have been carried on while Rony G. Flatscher was on leave at the University of Augsburg, Germany, and then when he came back to "t;his" Vienna University of Economics and Business Adminstration (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, WU), Austria.

"The Vienna Version of BSF4Rexx" supercedes the "Essener" and "Augsburg" version in 2006.
