Class AbstractScriptEngine

java.lang.Object
javax.script.AbstractScriptEngine
All Implemented Interfaces:
ScriptEngine
Direct Known Subclasses:
NashornScriptEngine
public abstract class AbstractScriptEngine
extends Object
implements ScriptEngine
Provides a standard implementation for several of the variants of the eval method.

eval(Reader)

eval(String)

eval(String, Bindings)

eval(Reader, Bindings)

are implemented using the abstract methods

eval(Reader,ScriptContext) or eval(String, ScriptContext)

with a SimpleScriptContext.

A SimpleScriptContext is used as the default ScriptContext of the AbstractScriptEngine..

Since:
1.6

    • put

      public void put​(String key, Object value)
      Sets the specified value with the specified key in the ENGINE_SCOPE Bindings of the protected context field.
      Specified by:

      get in interface ScriptEngine
      Parameters:
      key - The key whose value is to be returned
      Returns:
      The value for the specified key.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if key is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if key is empty.

    • eval

      public Object eval​(Reader reader, Bindings bindings) throws ScriptException
      eval(Reader, Bindings) calls the abstract eval(Reader, ScriptContext) method, passing it a ScriptContext whose Reader, Writers and Bindings for scopes other that ENGINE_SCOPE are identical to those members of the protected context field. The specified Bindings is used instead of the ENGINE_SCOPE Bindings of the context field.
      Specified by:
      eval in interface ScriptEngine
      Parameters:
      reader - A Reader containing the source of the script.
      bindings - A Bindings to use for the ENGINE_SCOPE while the script executes.
      Returns:
      The return value from eval(Reader, ScriptContext)
      Throws:
      ScriptException - if an error occurs in script.
      NullPointerException - if any of the parameters is null.

    • eval

      public Object eval​(String script, Bindings bindings) throws ScriptException
      Same as eval(Reader, Bindings) except that the abstract eval(String, ScriptContext) is used.
      Specified by:
      eval in interface ScriptEngine
      Parameters:
      script - A String containing the source of the script.
      bindings - A Bindings to use as the ENGINE_SCOPE while the script executes.
      Returns:
      The return value from eval(String, ScriptContext)
      Throws:
      ScriptException - if an error occurs in script.
      NullPointerException - if any of the parameters is null.

    • eval

      public Object eval​(Reader reader) throws ScriptException
      eval(Reader) calls the abstract eval(Reader, ScriptContext) passing the value of the context field.
      Specified by:
      eval in interface ScriptEngine
      Parameters:
      reader - A Reader containing the source of the script.
      Returns:
      The return value from eval(Reader, ScriptContext)
      Throws:
      ScriptException - if an error occurs in script.
      NullPointerException - if any of the parameters is null.

    • eval

      public Object eval​(String script) throws ScriptException
      Same as eval(Reader) except that the abstract eval(String, ScriptContext) is used.
      Specified by:
      eval in interface ScriptEngine
      Parameters:
      script - A String containing the source of the script.
      Returns:
      The return value from eval(String, ScriptContext)
      Throws:
      ScriptException - if an error occurs in script.
      NullPointerException - if any of the parameters is null.

    • getScriptContext

      protected ScriptContext getScriptContext​(Bindings nn)
      Returns a SimpleScriptContext. The SimpleScriptContext:

      • Uses the specified Bindings for its ENGINE_SCOPE
      • Uses the Bindings returned by the abstract getGlobalScope method as its GLOBAL_SCOPE
      • Uses the Reader and Writer in the default ScriptContext of this ScriptEngine


      A SimpleScriptContext returned by this method is used to implement eval methods using the abstract eval(Reader,Bindings) and eval(String,Bindings) versions.
      Parameters:
      nn - Bindings to use for the ENGINE_SCOPE
      Returns:
      The SimpleScriptContext
