I have created a fully functional osgi module that exposes the ScriptingExecutor through a jsonws service.  It supports both eval for short requests that have response objects, and spawn that will turn the script into a background task.  You can see my solution here:

This has been extremely helpful to my team in terms of automating various administrative tasks and applying patches (supplied by your EE support staff) in a consistent, repeatable fashion.  I think it would be relatively trivial to include in the liferay core and would have great value to a lot of others.  All that would be required is a namespace change...

 

What do you think?
