Important note: Please note that Lobster cannot provide support for self-developed classes.

This function allows you to execute Java code as a script. In parameter a, you can either put in the name of a file which contains Java code or you can put in the java code directly. Parameters b-j are optional and can be used within the script code. Furthermore, you can use all variables, lists and maps of your profile. To get access to a list or a map you have to use the following methods:

script.getMap("map_name") returns a map object of type java.util.Map.
script.getList("list_name") returns a list object of type java.util.List.

With the execute script function you can also handle DOM objects (org.jdom.Document) which are created in the call webservice() function. To access a DOM object use this method:

script.getDocument("document_name") returns an org.jdom.Document object.

The DOM object can also be deleted with method script.deleteDocument("document_name") or by using function delete DOM object().

Parameters

Parameter	Description
a	Script or filename.
b	(optional) Script parameter b.
c	(optional) Script parameter c.
d	(optional) Script parameter d.
e	(optional) Script parameter e.
f	(optional) Script parameter f.
g	(optional) Script parameter g.
h	(optional) Script parameter h.
i	(optional) Script parameter i.
j	(optional) Script parameter j.
