    | Agenda What's Nashorn? 8u20 8u40 In the future... 1 2 3 4 3
  4. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Nashorn • Replacement for Rhino – For improving security and performance • Proof of Concept for InvokeDynamic (JSR-292) 5 JavaScript Engine introduced in Java 8 (JEP 174)
  5. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Nashorn • ECMAScript-262 Edition 5.1 • javax.script (JSR 223) API • Interaction between Java and JavaScript • Command line tool : jjs JavaScript Engine introduced in Java 8 (JEP 174) 6
  6. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Get started! • jjs – Hello World – Lambda Expression, Stream • Scripting – User the option of “-scripting” – Call Web API • JavaFX – User the option of “–fx” – WebView 7
  7. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Lambda Expression in Nashorn // Java array.stream().sorted(Comparator.naturalOrder()) .forEach( t -> sortedArray.add(t) ); // Nashorn array.stream().sorted(Comparator.naturalOrder()) .forEach(function(t) sortedArray.add(t)); 8
  8. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Call from Java (1/3) ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager(); ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("nashorn"); // Evaluation engine.eval("print('hello world')"); // hello world engine.eval(new FileReader(“hello.js”)); // hello.js 9
  9. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Call from Java (2/3) engine.eval("function hello(name){ print('Hello, ' + name); }"); Invocable inv=(Invocable)engine; // Hello, Taro Object obj= inv.invokeFunction("hello","Taro"); 10 Invoke JavaScript function
  10. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Call from Java (3/3) engine.eval("function run(){ print('run() called'); }"); Invocable inv =(Invocable)engine; Runnable r=inv.getInterface(Runnable.class); Thread th=new Threads(r); th.start(); th.join(); 11 Implement interface with Script function

    | 8u20 • Focused on security improvement and enhancement of underlying platform – JIT – JDK 13 Released in August, 2014
  12. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Replace “const” with “var” • Default: false • It might retire in the future since 8u40 supports const. 14 --const-as-var=true|false
  13. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Forbid access Java Packages and Classes from JavaScript • Default : false 15 --no-java=true|false (-nj)
  14. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Forbid using syntax against ECMAScript standard • Able to use API Extension such as Java.type • Disabled when using -scripting 16 --no-syntax-extensions (-nse)
  15. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | #sourceURL and @sourceURL • For debuging use – //# sourceURL=myScript.js – @sourceURL=myScript.js 17 JDK-8032068 : implement @sourceURL and #sourceURL directives
  16. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Class Cache • Originally compilation is required even if invoking previous used script. • Since 8u20, previous evaluated script is stored in cache for reuse. • Example – from Java engine.eval(new URLReader(myScriptURL)); – from JavaScript load(url); 18 JDK-8021350 : Share script classes between threads/globals within context
  17. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | 8u40 • Performance improvement – Optimistic typing (JEP 196) – Code Persistence (JEP 194) • Security – Class Filter (JEP 202) • Partial support for ECMAScript 6 – Lexical-scoped variables and constant definition (JEP 203) 20 Implemented JEP
  18. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | JEP 196: Optimistic Typing • Type inference at compilation (not at runtime) – Assume specific type used at operation and manipulation of array index – If type inference is wrong, fall back and recompile with more pessimistic assumption • --optimistic-types=true|false (-ot) – Default: false 21 For generating bytecode like Java int long double Object
  19. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | JEP 196: Optimistic Typing • nashorn.typeInfo.maxFiles – Maximum # of files to cache type information – if 0 is set to this property, caching is disabled. • nashorn.typeInfo.cacheDir – Directory where files storing cached type information exist. • Windows: ${java.io.tmpdir}¥com.oracle.java.NashornTypeInfo • Linux and Solaris: ~/.cache/com.oracle.java.NashornTypeInfo • Mac OS X: ~/Library/Caches/com.oracle.java.NashornTypeInfo 22 Caching result of type inference
  20. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | JEP 194: Code Persistence • Cache code for re-use within the same process. • This helps smaller memory usage and shorter startup time. 23 Performance improvement with caching code
  21. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | JEP 194: Code Persistence • --class-cache-size=50 (-ccs) – Class cache size per global scope – Default : 50 • --persistent-code-cache=true|false (-pcc) – Specifies whether or not optimistic type information as well as compiled scripts are persisted to disk – Default : false 24 Performance improvement with caching code
  22. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | JEP 194: Code Persistence • Where is code cache stored? – Default : When invoking JavaScript, directory named nashorn_code_cache is created and cached data are stored. – Directory name is configurable. • nashorn.persistent.code.cache • File stored cached data contains not only class byte code but also various metadata. 25 Optimistic type information is also cached to disk
  23. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | Lazy compilation • Compile methods on demand • Default : true – Before 8u40, default setting was false due to experimental option. 26 --lazy-compilation=true|false
  24. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | JEP 202: Class Filter • JEP 202: Nashorn Class Filter https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8043717 • Impementation is required in Java application which uses JavaScript. – jdk.nashorn.api.scripting.ClassFilter 27 Forbid accessing Java classes from JavaScript
  25. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | ClassFilter // restrcting access to java.io.File import jdk.nashorn.api.scripting.ClassFilter; class MyFilter implements ClassFilter { @Override public boolean exposeToScripts(String s) { if (s.compareTo("java.io.File") == 0) return false; return true; } } 28 Implementation example
  26. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | JEP 203: Lexically-scoped variable and constant declarations • --language=es5|es6 – Default : es5 – --language=es6 is mandatory when using const and let 30 Support for keyword “let” and “const”
  27. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | // let let a=2; function f(x) { // a=2 if(x) { let a=42; } // a is still equal to 2 } // var var a=2; function f(x) { // a is not undefined if(x) { var a=42; } // depending upon x, a is equal to 42 or undefined } 31 let and var
  28. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | // 1) Syntax error function f(x) { const b=1; // Unable to assign b = 99; } // 2) Scope #1 function f(x) { const b=1; var z=b+1; //z=2 } //b is undefined var y=b+1; 32 // 3) Scope #2 function f(x) { const b=1; var z =b+1; //z=2 } //Able to declare b const b = 10; const

    | Improve with steady work • Improve performance when parsing JSON – Poor performance when handling small JSON objects using PropertyHashMap#findElement • Re-write jdk.nashorn.internal.parser.JSONParser 38 For example...
  33. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

    | JEP 236: Parser API for Nashorn • Objective – Parser API for representing ECMAScript code as AST – Visitor pattern – Introduced to hide internal implementation package (jdk.nashorn.internal.ir) • Notice – Not script level API but Java API 40 Public API for ECMAScript AST
