I should add - I can work around this pretty easily by simply executing
a JavaScript fragment in the scope I want, e.g.
engine.eval("if (typeof vertxStop === 'function') vertxStop();",
theCorrectScriptContext);
So it's not a huge deal, but would be nice to be able to call a top
level function directly from Java in a specific scope.

I have a ScriptEngine instance which I use many times to execute
scripts in different scopes:
I.e. repeat the following several times with different scripts
ScriptContext ctx = new SimpleScriptContext();
Bindings bindings = engine.createBindings();
ctx.setBindings(bindings, ScriptContext.ENGINE_SCOPE);
engine.eval(someScript, ctx);
Some time later I want to invoke a top level function 'vertxStop' in
one of those scripts.
Each script has their own version of function vertxStop as they all
have their own scope.
According to the docs I can invoke a top level function by casting the
engine to Invocable:
Invocable inv = (Invocable)engine;
inv.invokeFunction("vertxStop");
But this doesn't let me choose which of the many vertxStop functions I
want to execute.
I looked for a version of invokeFunction which takes a ScriptContext
too, but couldn't find one.
Does anyone know how I can invoke a top level function from a specific
scope using the javax.script API?
Cheers
