public class LuajavaLib
extends VarArgFunction

Subclass of LibFunction which implements the features of the luajava package.

Luajava is an approach to mixing lua and java using simple functions that bind java classes and methods to lua dynamically. The API is documented on the luajava documentation pages.

Typically, this library is included as part of a call to either JsePlatform.standardGlobals()

To instantiate and use it directly, link it into your globals table via LuaValue.load(LuaValue) using code such as:

 LuaTable _G = new LuaTable();
 LuaThread.setGlobals(_G);
 LuaC.install();
 _G.load(new BaseLib());
 _G.load(new PackageLib());
 _G.load(new LuajavaLib());
 _G.get("loadstring").call( LuaValue.valueOf( 
 		"sys = luajava.bindClass('java.lang.System')\n"+
 		"print ( sys:currentTimeMillis() )\n" ) ).call(); 
  

This example is not intended to be realistic - only to show how the LuajavaLib may be initialized by hand. In practice, the luajava library is available on all JSE platforms via the call to JsePlatform.standardGlobals() and the luajava api's are simply invoked from lua.

This has been implemented to match as closely as possible the behavior in the corresponding library in C.

public LuajavaLib()

Method Detail

invoke

public Varargs invoke(Varargs args)

Description copied from class: VarArgFunction

Override and implement for the best performance. May not have expected behavior for tail calls. Should not be used if either: - function needs to be used as a module - function has a possibility of returning a TailcallVarargs

Overrides:

invoke in class VarArgFunction

Parameters:

args - the arguments to the function call.

Returns:

All return values as a Varargs instance.
