Class NashornScriptEngineFactory

java.lang.Object

jdk.nashorn.api.scripting.NashornScriptEngineFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

ScriptEngineFactory

@Exported
public final class NashornScriptEngineFactory
extends Object
implements ScriptEngineFactory

JSR-223 compliant script engine factory for Nashorn. The engine answers for:

• names "nashorn", "Nashorn", "js", "JS", "JavaScript", "javascript", "ECMAScript", and "ecmascript";
• MIME types "application/javascript", "application/ecmascript", "text/javascript", and "text/ecmascript";
• as well as for the extension "js".

Programs executing in engines created using getScriptEngine(String[]) will have the passed arguments accessible as a global variable named "arguments".

The version of the supported language.

getMethodCallSyntax

public String getMethodCallSyntax(String obj,
                                  String method,
                                  String... args)

Description copied from interface: javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory

Returns a String which can be used to invoke a method of a Java object using the syntax of the supported scripting language. For instance, an implementation for a Javascript engine might be;

 public String getMethodCallSyntax(String obj,
                                   String m, String... args) {
      String ret = obj;
      ret += "." + m + "(";
      for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
          ret += args[i];
          if (i < args.length - 1) {
              ret += ",";
          }
      }
      ret += ")";
      return ret;
 }
  

Specified by:

getMethodCallSyntax in interface ScriptEngineFactory

Parameters:

obj - The name representing the object whose method is to be invoked. The name is the one used to create bindings using the put method of ScriptEngine, the put method of an ENGINE_SCOPE Bindings,or the setAttribute method of ScriptContext. The identifier used in scripts may be a decorated form of the specified one.

method - The name of the method to invoke.

args - names of the arguments in the method call.

Returns:

The String used to invoke the method in the syntax of the scripting language.

getMimeTypes

public List<String> getMimeTypes()

Description copied from interface: javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory

Returns an immutable list of mimetypes, associated with scripts that can be executed by the engine. The list is used by the ScriptEngineManager class to implement its getEngineByMimetype method.

Specified by:

getMimeTypes in interface ScriptEngineFactory

Returns:

The list of mime types.

getNames

public List<String> getNames()

Description copied from interface: javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory

Returns an immutable list of short names for the ScriptEngine, which may be used to identify the ScriptEngine by the ScriptEngineManager. For instance, an implementation based on the Mozilla Rhino Javascript engine might return list containing {"javascript", "rhino"}.

Specified by:

getNames in interface ScriptEngineFactory

Returns:

an immutable list of short names

getOutputStatement

public String getOutputStatement(String toDisplay)

Description copied from interface: javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory

Returns a String that can be used as a statement to display the specified String using the syntax of the supported scripting language. For instance, the implementation for a Perl engine might be;

 public String getOutputStatement(String toDisplay) {
      return "print(" + toDisplay + ")";
 }
 

Specified by:

getOutputStatement in interface ScriptEngineFactory

Parameters:

toDisplay - The String to be displayed by the returned statement.

Returns:

The string used to display the String in the syntax of the scripting language.

getParameter

public Object getParameter(String key)

Description copied from interface: javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory

Returns the value of an attribute whose meaning may be implementation-specific. Keys for which the value is defined in all implementations are:

• ScriptEngine.ENGINE
• ScriptEngine.ENGINE_VERSION
• ScriptEngine.LANGUAGE
• ScriptEngine.LANGUAGE_VERSION
• ScriptEngine.NAME

The values for these keys are the Strings returned by getEngineName, getEngineVersion, getLanguageName, getLanguageVersion for the first four keys respectively. For NAME, one of the Strings returned by getNames is returned.

A reserved key, THREADING, whose value describes the behavior of the engine with respect to concurrent execution of scripts and maintenance of state is also defined. These values for the THREADING key are:

• null - The engine implementation is not thread safe, and cannot be used to execute scripts concurrently on multiple threads.
• "MULTITHREADED" - The engine implementation is internally thread-safe and scripts may execute concurrently although effects of script execution on one thread may be visible to scripts on other threads.
• "THREAD-ISOLATED" - The implementation satisfies the requirements of "MULTITHREADED", and also, the engine maintains independent values for symbols in scripts executing on different threads.
• "STATELESS" - The implementation satisfies the requirements of
• "THREAD-ISOLATED". In addition, script executions do not alter the mappings in the Bindings which is the engine scope of the ScriptEngine. In particular, the keys in the Bindings and their associated values are the same before and after the execution of the script.

Implementations may define implementation-specific keys.

Specified by:

getParameter in interface ScriptEngineFactory

Parameters:

key - The name of the parameter

Returns:

The value for the given parameter. Returns null if no value is assigned to the key.

getProgram

public String getProgram(String... statements)

Description copied from interface: javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory

Returns a valid scripting language executable program with given statements. For instance an implementation for a PHP engine might be:

 public String getProgram(String... statements) {
      String retval = "<?\n";
      int len = statements.length;
      for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
          retval += statements[i] + ";\n";
      }
      return retval += "?>";
 }
 

Specified by:
