// simple example demonstrating calling a script object

var manager = new ScriptEngineManager();

// use heredoc !

// invoke methods of an object in script world
// from javax.script.Invocable interface. But, hey,
// calling code is JavaScript and don't worry about types :)

// get that script object on which to call a method
var scriptObj = engine.get("obj");
// call 'func' method on object 'obj'
engine.invokeMethod(scriptObj, "func");
