addEventListener
public static void addEventListener(Object bean, String eventSetName, String filter, BSFEngine engine, BSFManager manager, String source, int lineNo, int columnNo, Object script) throws BSFException Add a script as a listener to some event coming out of an object. The first two args identify the src of the event and the event set and the rest identify the script which should be run when the event fires.- Parameters:
bean
- event sourceeventSetName
- name of event set from event src to bind tofilter
- filter for eventsengine
- BSFEngine which can run this scriptmanager
- BSFManager of the above enginesource
- (context info) the source of this expression (e.g., filename)lineNo
- (context info) the line number in source for exprcolumnNo
- (context info) the column number in source for exprscript
- the script to execute when the event occurs- Throws:
BSFException
- if anything goes wrong while running the script
-
addEventListenerReturningEventInfos
public static void addEventListenerReturningEventInfos(Object bean, String eventSetName, String filter, BSFEngine engine, BSFManager manager, String source, int lineNo, int columnNo, Object script, Object dataFromScriptingEngine) throws BSFException Add a script as a listener to some event coming out of an object. The first two args identify the src of the event and the event set and the rest identify the script which should be run when the event fires. The processing will use the engine's apply() method.- Parameters:
bean
- event sourceeventSetName
- name of event set from event src to bind tofilter
- filter for eventsengine
- BSFEngine which can run this scriptmanager
- BSFManager of the above enginesource
- (context info) the source of this expression (e.g., filename)lineNo
- (context info) the line number in source for exprcolumnNo
- (context info) the column number in source for exprscript
- the script to execute when the event occursdataFromScriptingEngine
- this contains any object supplied by the scripting engine and gets sent back with the supplied script, if the event occurs. This could be used e.g. for indicating to the scripting engine which scripting engine object/routine/function/procedure should be ultimately informed of the event occurrence.- Throws:
BSFException
- if anything goes wrong while running the script
-
callBeanMethod
public static Object callBeanMethod(Object bean, String methodName, Object[] args) throws BSFException Finds and invokes a method with the given signature on the given bean. The signature of the method that's invoked is first taken as the types of the args, but if that fails, this tries to convert any primitive wrapper type args to their primitive counterparts to see whether a method exists that way. If it does, done.- Parameters:
bean
- the object on which to invoke the methodmethodName
- name of the methodargs
- arguments to be given to the method- Returns:
- the result of invoking the method, if any
- Throws:
BSFException
- if something goes wrong
-
createBean
Creates a new bean. The signature of the constructor that's invoked is first taken as the types of the args, but if that fails, this tries to convert any primitive wrapper type args to their primitive counterparts to see whether a method exists that way. If it does, done.- Parameters:
className
- fully qualified name of class to instantiateargs
- array of constructor args (or null if none)- Returns:
- the created bean
- Throws:
BSFException
- if something goes wrong (@see org.apache.cs.util.MethodUtils for the real exceptions that can occur).
-
getTypeSignatureString
Given a class return the type signature string fragment for it. That is, return "I" for int, "J" for long, ... etc..- Parameters:
cl
- class object for whom the signature fragment is needed.- Returns:
- the string representing the type signature
-
loadClass
Load a class using the class loader of given manager. If that fails try using a class loader that loads from the tempdir of the manager.- Parameters:
mgr
- BSFManager who's classLoader and tempDir props are consultedname
- name of the class to load- Returns:
- the loaded class
- Throws:
BSFException
- if something goes wrong.
