## bsh
Class NameSpace

    java.lang.Object
      bsh.NameSpace

All Implemented Interfaces:
  BshClassManager.Listener, NameSource, java.io.Serializable

public class NameSpace
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, BshClassManager.Listener, NameSource

A namespace in which methods, variables, and imports (class names) live. This is package public because it is used in the implementation of some bsh commands. However for normal use you should be using methods on bsh.Interpreter to interact with your scripts.

A bsh.This object is a thin layer over a NameSpace that associates it with an Interpreter instance. Together they comprise a Bsh scripted object context.

Note: I'd really like to use collections here, but we have to keep this compatible with JDK1.1

### setName

    public void setName(java.lang.String name)

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

  The name of this namespace. If the namespace is a method body namespace then this is the name of the method. If it's a class or class instance then it's the name of the class.

### get

                                Interpreter interpreter)
                         throws UtilEvalError

  Resolve name to an object through this namespace.

  Throws:
    `UtilEvalError`

### setVariable

                            java.lang.Object value)
                     throws UtilEvalError

  Throws:
    `UtilEvalError`

### setVariable

    public void setVariable(java.lang.String name,
                            java.lang.Object value,
                            boolean strictJava)
                     throws UtilEvalError

  Set the variable through this namespace. This method obeys the LOCALSCOPING property to determine how variables are set.

  Note: this method is primarily intended for use internally. If you use this method outside of the bsh package and wish to set variables with primitive values you will have to wrap them using bsh.Primitive.

  Parameters:
    `strictJava` - specifies whether strict java rules are applied.
  Throws:
    `UtilEvalError`
  See Also:
    `

    Setting a new variable (which didn't exist before) or removing a variable causes a namespace change.

    `

### unsetVariable

    public void unsetVariable(java.lang.String name)

  Remove the variable from the namespace.

### getVariableNames

    public java.lang.String[] getVariableNames()

  Get the names of variables defined in this namespace. (This does not show variables in parent namespaces).

  Get the names of methods declared in this namespace. (This does not include methods in parent namespaces).

### getMethods

    public BshMethod[] getMethods()

  Get the methods defined in this namespace. (This does not show methods in parent namespaces). Note: This will probably be renamed getDeclaredMethods()

### getParent

    public NameSpace getParent()

### getSuper

    public This getSuper(Interpreter declaringInterpreter)

  Get the parent namespace' This reference or this namespace' This reference if we are the top.

### getGlobal

    public This getGlobal(Interpreter declaringInterpreter)

### prune

    public void prune()

  Used for serialization

### setParent

    public void setParent(NameSpace parent)

### getVariable

  Throws:
    `UtilEvalError`
  See Also:
    `Primitive.unwrap( Object )`

### getVariable

                                        boolean recurse)
                                 throws UtilEvalError

  Get the specified variable in this namespace.

  Parameters:
    `recurse` - If recurse is true then we recursively search through parent namespaces for the variable.

    Note: this method is primarily intended for use internally. If you use this method outside of the bsh package you will have to use Primitive.unwrap() to get primitive values.

  Returns:
    The variable value or Primitive.VOID if it is not defined.
  Throws:
    `UtilEvalError`
  See Also:
    `Primitive.unwrap( Object )`

  Returns:
    return the variable value. A null var is mapped to Primitive.VOID
  Throws:
    `UtilEvalError`

### setTypedVariable

    public void setTypedVariable(java.lang.String name,
                                 java.lang.Class type,

    `UtilEvalError`

### setTypedVariable

                          throws UtilEvalError

  Declare a variable in the local scope and set its initial value. Value may be null to indicate that we would like the default value for the variable type. (e.g. 0 for integer types, null for object types). An existing typed variable may only be set to the same type. If an untyped variable of the same name exists it will be overridden with the new typed var. The set will perform a Types.getAssignableForm() on the value if necessary.

  Note: this method is primarily intended for use internally. If you use this method outside of the bsh package and wish to set variables with primitive values you will have to wrap them using bsh.Primitive.

  Parameters:
    `value` - If value is null, you'll get the default value for the type
    `modifiers` - may be null
  Throws:
    `UtilEvalError`
  See Also:
    `Primitive`

### setMethod

                        throws UtilEvalError

  Get the bsh method matching the specified signature declared in this name space or a parent.

  Note: this method is primarily intended for use internally. If you use this method outside of the bsh package you will have to be familiar with BeanShell's use of the Primitive wrapper class.

  Parameters:
    `declaredOnly` - if true then only methods declared directly in this namespace will be found and no inherited or imported methods will be visible.
  Returns:
    the BshMethod or null if not found
  Throws:
    `UtilEvalError`

                                       Interpreter interpreter)
                                throws UtilEvalError

  A command is a scripted method or compiled command class implementing a specified method signature. Commands are loaded from the classpath and may be imported using the importCommands() method.

  This method searches the imported commands packages for a script or command object corresponding to the name of the method. If it is a script the script is sourced into this namespace and the BshMethod for the requested signature is returned. If it is a compiled class the class is returned. (Compiled command classes implement static invoke() methods).

  The imported packages are searched in reverse order, so that later imports take priority. Currently only the first object (script or class) with the appropriate name is checked. If another, overloaded form, is located in another package it will not currently be found. This could be fixed.

  Parameters:
    `name` - is the name of the desired command method
    `argTypes` - is the signature of the desired command method.
  Returns:
    a BshMethod, Class, or null if no such command is found.
  Throws:
    `UtilEvalError` - if loadScriptedCommand throws UtilEvalError i.e. on errors loading a script that was found

                              importClass("bsh.Interpreter");
                              importPackage("javax.swing.event");

### getInvocationLine

    public int getInvocationLine()

### getInvocationText

    public java.lang.String getInvocationText()

### identifierToClass

    public static java.lang.Class identifierToClass(ClassIdentifier ci)

  This is a helper method for working inside of bsh scripts and commands. In that context it is impossible to see a ClassIdentifier object for what it is. Attempting to access a method on a ClassIdentifier will look like a static method invocation. This method is in NameSpace for convenience (you don't have to import bsh.ClassIdentifier to use it );

### clear

    public void clear()

  See Also:
    `loadDefaultImports()`

### importObject

    public void importObject(java.lang.Object obj)

  Import a compiled Java object's methods and variables into this namespace. When no scripted method / command or variable is found locally in this namespace method / fields of the object will be checked. Objects are checked in the order of import with later imports taking precedence.

### importStatic

    public void importStatic(java.lang.Class clas)
