Package Summary  Overview Summary

class:ScriptContext [NONE]
All Known Implementing Classes:
SimpleScriptContext
public interface ScriptContext
The interface whose implementing classes are used to connect Script Engines with objects, such as scoped Bindings, in hosting applications. Each scope is a set of named attributes whose values can be set and retrieved using the ScriptContext methods. ScriptContexts also expose Readers and Writers that can be used by the ScriptEngines for input and output.
Since:
1.6

field:ENGINE_SCOPE [NONE]

  • ENGINE_SCOPE

    static final  int ENGINE_SCOPE
    EngineScope attributes are visible during the lifetime of a single ScriptEngine and a set of attributes is maintained for each engine.
    See Also:

    • field:GLOBAL_SCOPE [NONE]

    GLOBAL_SCOPE

    static final  int GLOBAL_SCOPE
    GlobalScope attributes are visible to all engines created by same ScriptEngineFactory.

    method:setBindings(javax.script.Bindings,int) [NONE]

  • setBindings

    void setBindings (Bindings bindings, int scope)
    Associates a Bindings instance with a particular scope in this ScriptContext. Calls to the getAttribute and setAttribute methods must map to the get and put methods of the Bindings for the specified scope.
    Parameters:
    bindings - The Bindings to associate with the given scope
    scope - The scope
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - If no Bindings is defined for the specified scope value in ScriptContexts of this type.
    NullPointerException - if value of scope is ENGINE_SCOPE and the specified Bindings is null.

    • method:getBindings(int) [NONE]

    getBindings

    Bindings getBindings (int scope)
    Gets the Bindings associated with the given scope in this ScriptContext.
    Parameters:
    scope - The scope
    Returns:
    The associated Bindings. Returns null if it has not been set.
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - If no Bindings is defined for the specified scope value in ScriptContext of this type.

    method:setAttribute(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object,int) [NONE]

    setAttribute

    void setAttribute (String name, Object value, int scope)
    Sets the value of an attribute in a given scope. If the scope is GLOBAL_SCOPE and no Bindings is set for GLOBAL_SCOPE, then setAttribute call is a no-op.
    Parameters:
    name - The name of the attribute to set
    value - The value of the attribute
    scope - The scope in which to set the attribute
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - if the name is empty or if the scope is invalid.
    NullPointerException - if the name is null.

    method:getAttribute(java.lang.String,int) [NONE]

    getAttribute

    Object getAttribute (String name, int scope)
    Gets the value of an attribute in a given scope.
    Parameters:
    name - The name of the attribute to retrieve.
    scope - The scope in which to retrieve the attribute.
    Returns:
    The value of the attribute. Returns null is the name does not exist in the given scope.
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - if the name is empty or if the value of scope is invalid.
    NullPointerException - if the name is null.

    method:removeAttribute(java.lang.String,int) [NONE]

    removeAttribute

    Object removeAttribute (String name, int scope)
    Remove an attribute in a given scope.
    Parameters:
    name - The name of the attribute to remove
    scope - The scope in which to remove the attribute
    Returns:
    The removed value.
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - if the name is empty or if the scope is invalid.
    NullPointerException - if the name is null.

    method:getAttribute(java.lang.String) [NONE]

    getAttribute

    Object getAttribute (String name)
    Retrieves the value of the attribute with the given name in the scope occurring earliest in the search order. The order is determined by the numeric value of the scope parameter (lowest scope values first.)
    Parameters:
    name - The name of the attribute to retrieve.
    Returns:
    The value of the attribute in the lowest scope for which an attribute with the given name is defined. Returns null if no attribute with the name exists in any scope.
    Throws:
    NullPointerException - if the name is null.
    IllegalArgumentException - if the name is empty.

    method:getAttributesScope(java.lang.String) [NONE]

    getAttributesScope

    int getAttributesScope (String name)
    Get the lowest scope in which an attribute is defined.
    Parameters:
    name - Name of the attribute .
    Returns:
    The lowest scope. Returns -1 if no attribute with the given name is defined in any scope.
    Throws:
    NullPointerException - if name is null.
    IllegalArgumentException - if name is empty.
