class:ScriptEngineManager [CHANGED]

 

  • public class ScriptEngineManager
extends Object
    The ScriptEngineManager implements a discovery and instantiation mechanism for ScriptEngine classes and also maintains a collection of key/value pairs storing state shared by all engines created by the Manager. This class uses the service provider mechanism described in the ServiceLoader class to enumerate all the implementations of ScriptEngineFactory.

    The ScriptEngineManager provides a method to return a list of all these factories as well as utility methods which look up factories on the basis of language name, file extension and mime type.

    The Bindings of key/value pairs, referred to as the "Global Scope" maintained by the manager is available to all instances of ScriptEngine created by the ScriptEngineManager. The values in the Bindings are generally exposed in all scripts.

    Since:
    1.6

constructor:ScriptEngineManager() [NONE]

  • ScriptEngineManager

    public ScriptEngineManager()
    The effect of calling this constructor is the same as calling ScriptEngineManager(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()).
    See Also:
    Thread.getContextClassLoader()

constructor:ScriptEngineManager(java.lang.ClassLoader) [CHANGED]

  • ScriptEngineManager

    public ScriptEngineManager(ClassLoader loader)
    This constructor loads the implementations of ScriptEngineFactory visible to the given ClassLoader using the service provider mechanism.

    If loader is null, the script engine factories that are bundled with the platform and thatare in the usual extension directories (installed extensions) areloaded.
    Parameters:
    loader - ClassLoader used to discover script engine factories.

  • ScriptEngineManager

    public ScriptEngineManager(ClassLoader loader)
    This constructor loads the implementations of ScriptEngineFactory visible to the given ClassLoader using the service provider mechanism.

    If loader is null, the script engine factories that are bundled with the platform and that are in the usual extension directories (installed extensions) are loaded.

    Parameters:
    loader - ClassLoader used to discover script engine factories.

  • ScriptEngineManager

    public ScriptEngineManager(ClassLoader loader)
    This constructor loads the implementations of ScriptEngineFactory visible to the given ClassLoader using the service provider mechanism.

    If loader is null, the script engine factories that are bundled with the platform are loaded.
    Parameters:
    loader - ClassLoader used to discover script engine factories.

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

  • setBindings

    public void setBindings(Bindings bindings)
    setBindings stores the specified Bindings in the globalScope field. ScriptEngineManager sets this Bindings as global bindings for ScriptEngine objects created by it.
    Parameters:
    bindings - The specified Bindings
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - if bindings is null.

method:getBindings() [NONE]

  • getBindings

    public Bindings getBindings()
    getBindings returns the value of the globalScope field. ScriptEngineManager sets this Bindings as global bindings for ScriptEngine objects created by it.
    Returns:
    The globalScope field.

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

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

  • get

    public Object get(String key)
    Gets the value for the specified key in the Global Scope
    Parameters:
    key - The key whose value is to be returned.
    Returns:
    The value for the specified key.

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

  • getEngineByName

    public ScriptEngine getEngineByName(String shortName)
    Looks up and creates a ScriptEngine for a given name. The algorithm first searches for a ScriptEngineFactory that has been registered as a handler for the specified name using the registerEngineName method.

    If one is not found, it searches the set of ScriptEngineFactory instances stored by the constructor for one with the specified name. If a ScriptEngineFactory is found by either method, it is used to create instance of ScriptEngine.
    Parameters:
    shortName - The short name of the ScriptEngine implementation. returned by the getNames method of its ScriptEngineFactory.
    Returns:
    A ScriptEngine created by the factory located in the search. Returns null if no such factory was found. The ScriptEngineManager sets its own globalScopeBindings as the GLOBAL_SCOPEBindings of the newly created ScriptEngine.
    Throws:
    NullPointerException - if shortName is null.

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

  • getEngineByExtension

    public ScriptEngine getEngineByExtension(String extension)
    Look up and create a ScriptEngine for a given extension. The algorithm used by getEngineByName is used except that the search starts by looking for a ScriptEngineFactory registered to handle the given extension using registerEngineExtension.
    Parameters:
    extension - The given extension
    Returns:
    The engine to handle scripts with this extension. Returns null if not found.
    Throws:
    NullPointerException - if extension is null.

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

  • getEngineByMimeType

    public ScriptEngine getEngineByMimeType(String mimeType)
    Look up and create a ScriptEngine for a given mime type. The algorithm used by getEngineByName is used except that the search starts by looking for a ScriptEngineFactory registered to handle the given mime type using registerEngineMimeType.
    Parameters:
    mimeType - The given mime type
    Returns:
    The engine to handle scripts with this mime type. Returns null if not found.
    Throws:
    NullPointerException - if mimeType is null.

method:getEngineFactories() [NONE]

  • getEngineFactories

    public List<ScriptEngineFactory> getEngineFactories()
    Returns a list whose elements are instances of all the ScriptEngineFactory classes found by the discovery mechanism.
    Returns:
    List of all discovered ScriptEngineFactorys.

                                   ScriptEngineFactory factory)
