call method in embedded code with the help of BeanShell

Question

I need to call some java code in my code. I use BeanShell for it. So, I can do this:

public void testInterpreter() {
    Interpreter i = new Interpreter();
    i.eval("System.out.println("test1"));
}

But what if I want to call other method in interpreter? I want something like that:

public void testInterpreter() {
    Interpreter i = new Interpreter();
    i.eval("testMethod()");
}

public void testMethod() {
    System.out.println("test2")
}

But I'm getting an error "Command not found"

Answer 1

Finally I've found the solution.

I'm using Janino Compiler (http://unkrig.de/w/Janino)

String javaClass = "code of new java Class2 that extends existing Class1";
SimpleCompiler sc = new SimpleCompiler();
sc.cook(javaClass);
Class<?> executeClass = sc.getClassLoader().loadClass("Class2");

Class1 instance = (Class1) executeClass.getConstructor().newInstance();

Now we have an instance of our Class2. Note that new Class2 should extend existing Class1 and we can call only methods declared in Class1.
