# Uses of Interface
javax.script.Bindings

Packages that use Bindings
Package | Description
--- | ---
javax.script | The scripting API consists of interfaces and classes that define Java™ Scripting Engines and provides a framework for their use in Java applications.
jdk.nashorn.api.scripting | This package provides the `javax.script` integration, which is the preferred way to use Nashorn.

## Uses of Bindings in javax.script

Classes in javax.script that implement Bindings
Modifier and Type | Class | Description
--- | --- | ---
`class` | `SimpleBindings` | A simple implementation of Bindings backed by a `HashMap` or some other specified `Map`.

Fields in javax.script declared as Bindings
Modifier and Type | Field | Description
--- | --- | ---
`protected Bindings` | SimpleScriptContext.`engineScope` | This is the engine scope bindings.
`protected Bindings` | SimpleScriptContext.`globalScope` | This is the global scope bindings.

Methods in javax.script that return Bindings
Modifier and Type | Method | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Bindings` | ScriptEngine.`createBindings()` | Returns an uninitialized `Bindings`.
`Bindings` | AbstractScriptEngine.`getBindings​(int scope)` | Returns the `Bindings` with the specified scope value in the protected `context` field.
`Bindings` | ScriptContext.`getBindings​(int scope)` | Gets the `Bindings` associated with the given scope in this `ScriptContext`.
`Bindings` | ScriptEngine.`getBindings​(int scope)` | Returns a scope of named values.
`Bindings` | ScriptEngineManager.`getBindings()` | `getBindings` returns the value of the `globalScope` field.
`Bindings` | SimpleScriptContext.`getBindings​(int scope)` | Returns the value of the `engineScope` field if specified scope is `ENGINE_SCOPE`.

Methods in javax.script with parameters of type Bindings
Modifier and Type | Method | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Object` | AbstractScriptEngine.`eval​(Reader reader, Bindings bindings)` | `eval(Reader, Bindings)` calls the abstract `eval(Reader, ScriptContext)` method, passing it a `ScriptContext` whose Reader, Writers and Bindings for scopes other that `ENGINE_SCOPE` are identical to those members of the protected `context` field.
`Object` | AbstractScriptEngine.`eval​(String script, Bindings bindings)` | Same as `eval(Reader, Bindings)` except that the abstract `eval(String, ScriptContext)` is used.
`Object` | CompiledScript.`eval​(Bindings bindings)` | Executes the program stored in the `CompiledScript` object using the supplied `Bindings` of attributes as the `ENGINE_SCOPE` of the associated `ScriptEngine` during script execution.
`Object` | ScriptEngine.`eval​(Reader reader, Bindings n)` | Same as `eval(String, Bindings)` except that the source of the script is provided as a `Reader`.
`Object` | ScriptEngine.`eval​(String script, Bindings n)` | Executes the script using the `Bindings` argument as the `ENGINE_SCOPE` `Bindings` of the `ScriptEngine` during the script execution.
`protected ScriptContext` | AbstractScriptEngine.`getScriptContext​(Bindings nn)` | Returns a `SimpleScriptContext`.
`void` | AbstractScriptEngine.`setBindings​(Bindings bindings, int scope)` | Sets the `Bindings` with the corresponding scope value in the `context` field.
`void` | ScriptContext.`setBindings​(Bindings bindings, int scope)` | Associates a `Bindings` instance with a particular scope in this `ScriptContext`.
`void` | ScriptEngine.`setBindings​(Bindings bindings, int scope)` | Sets a scope of named values to be used by scripts.
`void` | ScriptEngineManager.`setBindings​(Bindings bindings)` | `setBindings` stores the specified `Bindings` in the `globalScope` field.
`void` | SimpleScriptContext.`setBindings​(Bindings bindings, int scope)` | Sets a `Bindings` of attributes for the given scope.

Constructors in javax.script with parameters of type Bindings
Constructor | Description
--- | ---
`AbstractScriptEngine​(Bindings n)` | Creates a new instance using the specified `Bindings` as the `ENGINE_SCOPE` `Bindings` in the protected `context` field.

## Uses of Bindings in jdk.nashorn.api.scripting

Classes in jdk.nashorn.api.scripting that implement Bindings
Modifier and Type | Class | Description
--- | --- | ---
`class` | `ScriptObjectMirror` | Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Nashorn JavaScript script engine and APIs, and the jjs tool are deprecated with the intent to remove them in a future release.
