The ScriptEngineManager implements a discovery and instantiation mechanism for ScriptEngine classes and also maintains a collection of key/value pairs storing state shared by all engines created by the Manager. This class uses the service provider mechanism to enumerate all the implementations of ScriptEngineFactory.

The ScriptEngineManager provides a method to return a list of all these factories as well as utility methods which look up factories on the basis of language name, file extension and mime type.

The Bindings of key/value pairs, referred to as the "Global Scope" maintained by the manager is available to all instances of ScriptEngine created by the ScriptEngineManager. The values in the Bindings are generally exposed in all scripts.

Looks up and creates a ScriptEngine for a given name. The algorithm first searches for a ScriptEngineFactory that has been registered as a handler for the specified name using the registerEngineName method.

If one is not found, it searches the set of ScriptEngineFactory instances stored by the constructor for one with the specified name. If a ScriptEngineFactory is found by either method, it is used to create instance of ScriptEngine.
Params:
  • shortName – The short name of the ScriptEngine implementation. returned by the getNames method of its ScriptEngineFactory.
Throws:
Returns:A ScriptEngine created by the factory located in the search. Returns null if no such factory was found. The ScriptEngineManager sets its own globalScope Bindings as the GLOBAL_SCOPE Bindings of the newly created ScriptEngine.
