Online documentation for Scripter Component

Generated 2006-03-17

Scripted component based on BeanShell and Scripter application.

Description

A scriping component, which requires properties to be declared and typed. Script format is the same as the Scripter application (which it makes use of).

Installation

No specific requirements (depends on BeanShell interpreter).

Configuration

See Usage.

Usage

Set configScript with the script. Script is divided into sections:

"inputs:" - input properties, e.g. "Comp.Prop as boolean in1".
"outputs:" - output properties, e.g. "Comp.Prop as boolean out1".
"state:" - exposed state (writable for persistence recovery), e.g. "int aValue".
"status:" - exposed status, readonly, e.g. "String info".
"on VARS:" - a script to execute when the named variables are set, e.g. "on in1: out1=(!in1)".

Note that the "Comp.Prop" parts of inputs and outputs are only used by the Scripter application, not by this component (in the application they what the properties should be linked to).

Technical Details

Scripting uses BeanShell interpreter. In component form link creation is not attempted - this should be done in the GraphEditor.
