Question

I’ve a Javascript source that uses a Java class that defines a ‘delete’ method (using jdk6 scripting). Since delete is a keyword, I cannot invoke that method.

In JavaFX script any sequence of characters enclosed in <> is treated as a lexical identifier. So you can use ‘insert’, that is a keyword, as an identifier:

var textField = new javax.swing.JTextField(); textField.<<insert>>('Hello World'); 

Javascript provides a way to protect keywords?

Answer 1

In javascript you would do:

textField['insert']('Hello World');
