Set global variables

// Obtain an instance of JavaScript engine
ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("nashorn");

// Define a global variable
engine.put("textToPrint", "Data defined in Java.");

// Print the global variable
try {
    engine.eval("print(textToPrint);");
} catch (ScriptException ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
}

// Outcome:
// 'Data defined in Java.' printed on standard output
