Interface ScriptInvocationHandler

public interface ScriptInvocationHandler

Implementations can be registered with a ScriptableDataSet to be called before and after script contained in a data set field is executed. This can be used to add commonly used import statements for all scripts of a given language or to post-process the result of a script execution.

Implementations must define a default constructor, if they shall be used as standard handler for a language.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
String	getLanguageName()	Must return the name of the scripting language for which this handler can be registered, as expected by the JSR 223 scripting engine manager, e.g.
Object	postInvoke(Object object)	Will be called after a script contained in a field of a data set is executed.
String	preInvoke(String script)	Will be called before a script contained in a field of a data set is executed.
void	setScriptEngine(ScriptEngine engine)	Makes the scripting engine available to handler implementations.
