call

public java.lang.Object call(java.lang.Object obj,
                             java.lang.String method,
                             java.lang.Object[] args)
                      throws BSFException

Description copied from interface: BSFEngine

This is used by an application to call into the scripting engine to make a function/method call. The "object" argument is the object whose method is to be called, if that applies. For non-OO languages, this is typically ignored and should be given as null. For pretend-OO languages such as VB, this would be the (String) name of the object. The arguments are given in the args array.

Parameters:

method - The name of the method to call.

args - an array of arguments to be passed to the extension, which may be either Vectors of Nodes, or Strings.

obj - object on which to make the call

Throws:

BSFException - if anything goes wrong while eval'ing a BSFException is thrown. The reason indicates the problem.

declareBean

public void declareBean(BSFDeclaredBean bean)
                 throws BSFException

Declare a bean

Specified by:

declareBean in interface BSFEngine

Overrides:

declareBean in class BSFEngineImpl

Throws:

BSFException

eval

public java.lang.Object eval(java.lang.String source,
                             int lineNo,
                             int columnNo,
                             java.lang.Object oscript)
                      throws BSFException

This is used by an application to evaluate a string containing some expression.

Parameters:

source - (context info) the source of this expression (e.g., filename)

lineNo - (context info) the line number in source for expr

columnNo - (context info) the column number in source for expr

oscript - the expression to evaluate

Throws:

BSFException - if anything goes wrong while eval'ing a BSFException is thrown. The reason indicates the problem.
