Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] urls)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

Simple testing harness for the GSE. Enter script roots as arguments and then input script names to run them.

Parameters:

urls - an array of URLs

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if something goes wrong

getResourceConnection

public java.net.URLConnection getResourceConnection(java.lang.String resourceName)
                                             throws ResourceException

Get a resource connection as a URLConnection to retrieve a script from the ResourceConnector.

Specified by:

getResourceConnection in interface ResourceConnector

Parameters:

resourceName - name of the resource to be retrieved

Returns:

a URLConnection to the resource

Throws:

ResourceException

getParentClassLoader

public java.lang.ClassLoader getParentClassLoader()

Get the ClassLoader that will serve as the parent ClassLoader of the GroovyClassLoader in which scripts will be executed. By default, this is the ClassLoader that loaded the GroovyScriptEngine class.

Returns:

the parent classloader used to load scripts

loadScriptByName

public java.lang.Class loadScriptByName(java.lang.String scriptName)
                                 throws ResourceException,
                                        ScriptException

Get the class of the scriptName in question, so that you can instantiate Groovy objects with caching and reloading.

Parameters:

scriptName - resource name pointing to the script

Returns:

the loaded scriptName as a compiled class

Throws:

ResourceException - if there is a problem accessing the script

ScriptException - if there is a problem parsing the script

run

public java.lang.String run(java.lang.String scriptName,
                            java.lang.String argument)
                     throws ResourceException,
                            ScriptException

Run a script identified by name with a single argument.

Parameters:

scriptName - name of the script to run

argument - a single argument passed as a variable named arg in the binding

Returns:

a toString() representation of the result of the execution of the script

Throws:

ResourceException - if there is a problem accessing the script

ScriptException - if there is a problem parsing the script

run

public java.lang.Object run(java.lang.String scriptName,
