public abstract class DelegatingScript extends Script
Script that performs method invocations and property access like Closure does.
DelegatingScript is a convenient basis for loading a custom-defined DSL as a Script, then execute it.
The following sample code illustrates how to do it:
class MyDSL {
public void foo(int x, int y, Closure z) { ... }
public void setBar(String a) { ... }
}
CompilerConfiguration cc = new CompilerConfiguration();
cc.setScriptBaseClass(DelegatingScript.class);
GroovyShell sh = new GroovyShell(cl,new Binding(),cc);
DelegatingScript script = (DelegatingScript)sh.parse(new File("my.dsl"))
script.setDelegate(new MyDSL());
script.run();
my.dsl can look like this:
foo(1,2) {
....
}
bar = ...;
DelegatingScript does this by delegating property access and method invocation to the delegate object.
More formally speaking, given the following script:
a = 1; b(2);
Using DelegatingScript as the base class, the code will run as:
delegate.a = 1; delegate.b(2);... whereas in plain
Script, this will be run as:
binding.setProperty("a",1);
((Closure)binding.getProperty("b")).call(2);
