Script helper and context

The global context and helper are available in all the scripts.

The context is available through the context field in your script. For example:

      public void clicked() {
         context.echo("Hello World");
      }

The script helper is available through the helper field in your script. For example:

      public void clicked() {
         XULWidget widget = helper.getCurrentWidget();
      }

Example

For example to show a message on the logger in a Groovy script:

      public void clicked() {
        context.echo("My value:" + value);
      }

To get the current widget in a Groovy script:

      public void clicked() {
         XULWidget widget = helper.getCurrentWidget();
      }

Using a custom context and helper

It is possible to use a custom XULScriptContext and XULScriptHelper rather than the default ones proposed by the API.

This can be useful if you want to add methods to access your own Java application API.
