public class ScriptObject
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements Script
Script contains author-programmed event behaviors for a scene.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DScriptNode] Script contains author-programmed event behaviors for a scene. Define the script input-output event interface by including <field/> elements. Scripting code is embedded in a child CDATA node or (deprecated) in the url field. Optionally supported programming languages are ECMAScript (JavaScript) and Java (via url to a myNode.class file).
  • Hint: insert a CDATA block to contain source code embedded within an X3D scene.
  • Hint: a contained CDATA block for source code protects whitespace, line breaks, and literal characters (such as & for ampersand character, < for less-than-sign character, and > for greater-than-sign character) from unintended escape-character modifications by XML parsers.
  • Warning: strict order is required for contained constructs: first field declarations (if any), then IS/connect statements (if any), and finally CDATA source-code block.
  • Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, Scripts https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#Scripts
  • Hint: apply containerField='watchList' when parent node is LoadSensor.

Package hint: This org.web3d.x3d.jsail concrete class is used for implementing a standalone X3D object as a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). If you are writing Java code for use inside an X3D Script node, compile separate code using only the org.web3d.x3d.sai package instead.

      • Hint: equivalent script code written in multiple programming languages can be provided for portability, the first runnable version is chosen at run time.
      • Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, Scripts https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#Scripts

This approach allows utilization of update modifications or live queries in external scripts, while still providing reliable script source as a fallback alternative within the model itself.

      • Hint: alternative XML encoding for quotation mark " is &quot; (which is an example of a character entity).
      • Warning: strictly match directory and filename capitalization for http links! This is important for portability. Some operating systems are forgiving of capitalization mismatches, but http/https url addresses and paths in Unix-based operating systems are all case sensitive and intolerant of uppercase/lowercase mismatches.

      public final ScriptObject setUSE​(java.lang.String newValue)
      Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named USE.

      Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value).
      • Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance.
      • Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute.
      • Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene.


      Note: each USE node is still an independent object, with the USE value matching the DEF value in the preceding object.

      Warning: invoking the setUSE() method on this node resets all other fields to their default values (except for containerField) and also releases all child nodes.

      Warning: no other operations can be performed to modify a USE node other than setting an alternate containerField value.
      Specified by:
      setUSE in class X3DConcreteNode
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the USE field.
      Returns:
      ScriptObject - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • setUSE

      public ScriptObject setUSE​(SFStringObject newValue)
      Assign typed object value to SFString USE field, similar to setUSE(String).
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the USE field.
      Returns:
      ScriptObject - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • getCssClass

      public java.lang.String getCssClass()
      Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named class.

      Tooltip: The class attribute is a space-separated list of classes, reserved for use by CSS cascading stylesheets.
      • Warning: currently the class attribute is only supported in XML encoding of X3D scenes.
      • Hint: W3C Cascading Style Sheets https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS
      Overrides:
      getCssClass in class X3DConcreteNode

    • setUSE

      public ScriptObject setUSE​(ScriptObject DEFnode)
      Assign a USE reference to another DEF node of same node type, similar to setUSE(String).

      Warning: note that the setUSE() method on this node resets all other fields to their default values (except for containerField) and also releases all child nodes.

      Warning: no other operations can be performed to modify a USE node other than setting an alternate containerField value.
