Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(java.lang.Object obj)
                throws java.lang.Exception

Called once to initialize the function

Specified by:

initialize in interface FunctionInterface

Overrides:

initialize in class Function

Parameters:

obj - an initialization object passed directly to the script function "initialize"

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - An exception is thrown if this method fails.

terminate

public void terminate()
               throws java.lang.Exception

This method is/should be called once before the object is released.

Specified by:

terminate in interface FunctionInterface

Overrides:

terminate in class Function

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

callFunction

public java.lang.Object callFunction(java.lang.String func,
                                     java.lang.Object[] params)
                              throws java.lang.Exception

Calls a script function with given parameters.

Parameters:

func - Name of the function

params - Array of positional parameters

Returns:

The result from the function call

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if any error occurs.

actionPerformed

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)

This method enables the script to use action listeners. The script must use addActionListener(fc), which in turn will forward the action event to the script function "actionPerformed(fc, event)".

Specified by:

actionPerformed in interface java.awt.event.ActionListener

Parameters:

event - ActionEvent

perform

public java.lang.Object perform(java.lang.Object obj)
                         throws java.lang.Exception

If this method is called with an object of type java.lang.String, java.io.File, java.io.InputStream or java.io.Reader the configured parser is provided that object as input and the returned value is an Entry object resulting from the parsing. If this method is called with an Entry object, the parser is used to generate a byte stream that is returned either as a byte array or java.lang.String object. The latter depends on the configuration switch "returnString" setting.

Specified by:

perform in interface FunctionInterface

Parameters:

obj - the input object for the function

Returns:

the output object for the function

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - An exception is thrown if this method fails.

getVersion

public java.lang.String getVersion()

Return version information

Specified by:

getVersion in interface VersionInfoInterface

Returns:

The version value
