                              throws BSFException
        Return an object from an extension.
        Parameters:
        object - Object on which to make the call (ignored).
        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.
        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
        Description copied from interface: BSFEngine
        Declare a bean after the engine has been started. Declared beans are beans that are named and which the engine must make available to the scripts it runs in the most first class way possible.
        Specified by:
        declareBean in interface BSFEngine
        Overrides:
        declareBean in class BSFEngineImpl
        Parameters:
        bean - the bean to declare
        Throws:
        BSFException - if the engine cannot do this operation
      • 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.
      • initialize

                               java.lang.String lang,
                               java.util.Vector declaredBeans)
                        throws BSFException
        Initialize the engine. Put the manager into the context-manager map hashtable too.

        Overrides:
        initialize in class BSFEngineImpl
        Parameters:
        mgr - The BSFManager that's hosting this engine.
        lang - Language string which this engine is handling.
        declaredBeans - Vector of BSFDeclaredObject containing beans that should be declared into the language runtime at init time as best as possible.
        Throws:
        BSFException - if anything goes wrong while init'ing a BSFException is thrown. The reason indicates the problem.
