      Print the string values of its arguments. This method is defined as a JavaScript function. Note that its arguments are of the "varargs" form, which allows it to handle an arbitrary number of arguments supplied to the JavaScript function.
    • write

      public static Object write(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj)
      Print just as in "print," but without the trailing newline.
    • quit

      public static void quit(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj)
      Call embedding-specific quit action passing its argument as int32 exit code. This method is defined as a JavaScript function.
    • version

      public static double version(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj)
      Get and set the language version. This method is defined as a JavaScript function.
    • load

      public static void load(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj)
      Load and execute a set of JavaScript source files. This method is defined as a JavaScript function.
    • defineClass

      public static void defineClass(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj) throws IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException, InvocationTargetException
      Load a Java class that defines a JavaScript object using the conventions outlined in ScriptableObject.defineClass.

      This method is defined as a JavaScript function.

      Throws:
      IllegalAccessException - if access is not available to a reflected class member
      InstantiationException - if unable to instantiate the named class
      InvocationTargetException - if an exception is thrown during execution of methods of the named class
      See Also:
    • loadClass

      public static void loadClass(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj) throws IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException
      Load and execute a script compiled to a class file.

      This method is defined as a JavaScript function. When called as a JavaScript function, a single argument is expected. This argument should be the name of a class that implements the Script interface, as will any script compiled by jsc.

      Throws:
      IllegalAccessException - if access is not available to the class
      InstantiationException - if unable to instantiate the named class

    • spawn

      public static Object spawn(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj)

    • sync

      public static Object sync(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj)
      The sync function creates a synchronized function (in the sense of a Java synchronized method) from an existing function. The new function synchronizes on the the second argument if it is defined, or otherwise the this object of its invocation. js> var o = { f : sync(function(x) { print("entry"); Packages.java.lang.Thread.sleep(x*1000); print("exit"); })}; js> spawn(function() {o.f(5);}); Thread[Thread-0,5,main] entry js> spawn(function() {o.f(5);}); Thread[Thread-1,5,main] js> exit entry exit
    • runCommand

      public static Object runCommand(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj) throws IOException
      Execute the specified command with the given argument and options as a separate process and return the exit status of the process.

      Usage:

       runCommand(command)
       runCommand(command, arg1, ..., argN)
       runCommand(command, arg1, ..., argN, options)
       
      All except the last arguments to runCommand are converted to strings and denote command name and its arguments. If the last argument is a JavaScript object, it is an option object. Otherwise it is converted to string denoting the last argument and options objects assumed to be empty. The following properties of the option object are processed:
      • args - provides an array of additional command arguments
      • env - explicit environment object. All its enumerable properties define the corresponding environment variable names.
      • input - the process input. If it is not java.io.InputStream, it is converted to string and sent to the process as its input. If not specified, no input is provided to the process.
      • output - the process output instead of java.lang.System.out. If it is not instance of java.io.OutputStream, the process output is read, converted to a string, appended to the output property value converted to string and put as the new value of the output property.
      • err - the process error output instead of java.lang.System.err. If it is not instance of java.io.OutputStream, the process error output is read, converted to a string, appended to the err property value converted to string and put as the new value of the err property.
      • dir - the working direcotry to run the commands.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • seal

      public static void seal(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj)
      The seal function seals all supplied arguments.
    • readFile

      public static Object readFile(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj) throws IOException
      The readFile reads the given file content and convert it to a string using the specified character coding or default character coding if explicit coding argument is not given.

      Usage:

       readFile(filePath)
       readFile(filePath, charCoding)
       
      The first form converts file's context to string using the default character coding.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • readUrl

      public static Object readUrl(Context cx, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args, Function funObj) throws IOException
      The readUrl opens connection to the given URL, read all its data and converts them to a string using the specified character coding or default character coding if explicit coding argument is not given.

      Usage:

       readUrl(url)
       readUrl(url, charCoding)
       
      The first form converts file's context to string using the default charCoding.
      Throws:
      IOException
