Don't make this take an Object. Instead, have it take an interface with
a single method on it whose signature matches the desired JS function.
For example:

interface EventCallback {
void eventOccurred(int eventType);
}

public void callFromRhino(EventCallback callback) {
// some time later you might call callback.eventOccurred(123)
}

and then in JS you can do:

function junk(eventType) { ... }

test.callFromRhino(junk);

In your example it looks like you don't have any parameters in your
callback function, so you could just use a Runnable:

public void callFromRhino(Runnable callback) {
// some time later you might call callback.run()
}

How can I pass a javaScript function to a Java Method to act as a callback

2010-05-15 Thread Dan Howard 

Hi everyone,

Basically I'm trying to pass a javaScript function to a Java method to 
act as a callback to the script.


I can do it - sort of - but the object I receive is a 
sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.InterpretedFunction and I don't see 
a way to invoke it.


Any ideas? BTW currently I'm using Rhino inside Java 6.

Here's what I have so far:

var someNumber = 0;

function start() {
   // log is just an log4j instance added to the Bindings
   log.info(started);
   someNumber = 20;

// Test is a unit test object with this method on it (taking Object 
as a param).

test.callFromRhino(junk);
}

function junk() {
log.info(called back  + someNumber);
}


** JAVA SIDE:

import game.util.FileUtil;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import org.apache.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import javax.script.*;
import java.net.URL;

public class TestRhino extends TestCase {

private static final Logger log = 
LogManager.getLogger(TestRhino.class);


private ScriptEngineManager mgr = new ScriptEngineManager();
private ScriptEngine engine = mgr.getEngineByName(JavaScript);

protected void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
}

protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
super.tearDown();
}

public void testCallback() {
try {

URL url = getClass().getResource(/callback.js);
String contents = FileUtil.getFileContents(url.getFile());
Compilable compilingEngine = (Compilable) engine;
CompiledScript script = compilingEngine.compile(contents);

Bindings bindings = 
engine.getBindings(ScriptContext.ENGINE_SCOPE);

bindings.put(log, log);
bindings.put(test, this);
script.eval(bindings);

Invocable invocable = (Invocable) script.getEngine();
invocable.invokeFunction(start);

} catch (Exception e) {
log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
fail(e.getMessage());
}

}

public void callFromRhino(Object callback) {
// how could I call back to this function?
log.info(callback.getClass().getName());
}
}
