Calling method in Java App from Jython

[Gregg Bolinger]

If I create a GUI using a Jython script file, I am not clear on how we contruct the event methods so that the non GUI "work" part of the app is handled outside of the Jything Interpreter. Or is this even possible?

I'm afraid that you have exceeded the monthly capacity of this forum, come back later.
Gregg, what do you mean by "outside" of the Jython interpreter? Do you
mean back in the JVM? Got code?

What I mean is if I use Jython to construct a simple GUI in a file. Then in my java code I do
interpreter.execfile("gui.py");
That is all find and good. But if my GUI has Buttons, Menu's, etc I need the Action Events to reside in the java program itself, not in the script file. I don't really have any code yet because I need to find out if this is possible before I commit to doing it.
But for an example I found on the internet:

from javax.swing import *
#from java.awt.event import *
from java.awt import *
from java.lang import *
win = JFrame("This is a frame")
win.bounds = 100,100,100,100
win.defaultCloseOperation = 3 #EXIT_ON_CLOSE
menuBar = JMenuBar()
fileMenu = JMenu("File")
menuBar.add(fileMenu);
newMenuItem = JMenuItem("New")
newMenuItem.actionPerformed=lambda event : System.out.println("Clicked on New Menu Item")
fileMenu.add(newMenuItem)
openMenuItem = JMenuItem("Open")
openMenuItem.actionPerformed=lambda event : System.out.println("Clicked on Open Menu Item")
fileMenu.add(openMenuItem)
saveMenuItem = JMenuItem("Save")
saveMenuItem.actionPerformed=lambda event : System.out.println("Clicked on Save Menu Item")
fileMenu.add(saveMenuItem)
saveMenuItem.enabled = 0 #false
win.JMenuBar = menuBar
contentPane = win.contentPane
contentPane.layout = GridLayout()
buttonOne = JButton("Button One")
buttonOne.actionPerformed=lambda event : System.out.println("Clicked on Button One")
contentPane.add(buttonOne)
buttonTwo = JButton("Button Two")
buttonTwo.actionPerformed=lambda event : System.out.println("Clicked on Button Two")
contentPane.add(buttonTwo)
buttonThree = JButton("Button Three")
buttonThree.actionPerformed=lambda event : System.out.println("Clicked on Button Three")
contentPane.add(buttonThree)
win.pack()
win.show()

If this is my script file that I call from the java program, notice the:

buttonThree.actionPerformed=lambda event : System.out.println("Clicked on Button Three")

I need that to call a method inside my Java application. I don't want all my event code in the script file. I hope that makes better sense.

I noticed this forum was a bit on the dormant side. I thought I would bring it back to life.
