Is this possible for use javascript to call a java method?

Question

The java have a script manager that allow java calling javascript, like this:

import javax.script.*;
public class ExecuteScript {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 // create a script engine manager
 ScriptEngineManager factory = new ScriptEngineManager();
 // create a JavaScript engine
 ScriptEngine engine = factory.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
 // evaluate JavaScript code from String
 engine.eval("print('Welocme to java world')");
 }

 public static void sayHi(){
   System.out.println("hihi");
 }
}

My question is, if I have a sayHi() function, can I use the javascript, via the script engine to call the Java function? Thanks.

Answer 1

The following snippet

package org.test.script;
import javax.script.*;

public class ExecuteScript {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // create a script engine manager
        ScriptEngineManager factory = new ScriptEngineManager();
        // create a JavaScript engine
        ScriptEngine engine = factory.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
        // evaluate JavaScript code from String
        engine.eval("" +
            "importPackage(org.test.script);\n" +
            "print('Welocme to java world\\n');\n" +
            "ExecuteScript.sayHi();");
    }

    public static void sayHi() {
        System.out.println("hihi");
    }
}

outputs

Welocme to java world
hihi

Answer 2

Quickly hacked together from the JavaDocs.

import javax.script.*;

public class ExecuteScript {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // create a Java object
        ExecuteScript es = new ExecuteScript();

        // create a script engine manager
        ScriptEngineManager factory = new ScriptEngineManager();
        // create a JavaScript engine
        ScriptEngine engine = factory.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
        // evaluate JavaScript code from String
        engine.eval("println('Welcome to Java world')");

        // add the Java object into the engine.
        engine.put("es",es);

        ScriptEngineFactory sef = engine.getFactory();
        String s = sef.getMethodCallSyntax("es", "sayHi", new String[0]);
        // show the correct way to call the Java method
        System.out.println(s);
        engine.eval(s);
    }

    public static void sayHi(){
        System.out.println("hihi");
    }
}

Output

Welcome to Java world
es.sayHi()
hihi
