ClassLoader[] servletContextNames = new ClassLoader[0];

String script = "workflowContext.put(\"resetPhase\", \"true\")";

Set outputNames = new HashSet();

outputNames.add("workflowContext");

Map workflowContext =	new HashMap();

workflowContext.put("nice", true);

Map inputObjects = new HashMap();

inputObjects.put("workflowContext", workflowContext);

Map outputObjects = ScriptingUtil.eval(null, inputObjects, outputNames, "python", script, servletContextNames);

Object workflowContextObject = outputObjects.get("workflowContext");

HashMap workflowContextHashMap = null;
try {
	workflowContextHashMap =(HashMap)workflowContextObject;
}
catch(java.lang.Exception e) {
	out.println("[ERROR] : " + e.getMessage());
