I use a custom component and develop below piece of code
<img id="01" src="http://localhost:80/cs/idcplg?IdcService=CREATE_STATIC_RENDITION&dDocName=ABC000001&Rendition=Web">
Above line is part of html displayed on web browser
however, I want to execute this line inside my java code
Something like Execute --> http://localhost:80/cs/idcplg?IdcService=CREATE_STATIC_RENDITION&dDocName=ABC000001&Rendition=Web
In answer to your questions:
Yes. Of course.
is there a way to 'clear' all previous variables etc at the end of a script, or start of the next script, without having to exit and restart?
Yes.
Use javascript delete operator to remove the variable.
For example:
SQL> $type test_1.jstest_variable = "this is a test";delete test_variable;SQL> $type test_2.jsctx.write(test_variable + "\n");SQL> script test_1.jsSQL> script test_2.jsjavax.script.ScriptException: ReferenceError: "test_variable" is not defined in <eval> at line number 1 at jdk.nashorn.api.scripting.NashornScriptEngine.throwAsScriptException(NashornScriptEngine.java:470)...Caused by: <eval>:1 ReferenceError: "test_variable" is not defined at jdk.nashorn.internal.runtime.ECMAErrors.error(ECMAErrors.java:57)...etc.
SQL> $type test_1.js
test_variable = "this is a test";
delete test_variable;
SQL> $type test_2.js
ctx.write(test_variable + "\n");
SQL> script test_1.js
SQL> script test_2.js
javax.script.ScriptException: ReferenceError: "test_variable" is not defined in <eval> at line number 1
at jdk.nashorn.api.scripting.NashornScriptEngine.throwAsScriptException(NashornScriptEngine.java:470)
...
Caused by: <eval>:1 ReferenceError: "test_variable" is not defined
at jdk.nashorn.internal.runtime.ECMAErrors.error(ECMAErrors.java:57)
...etc.
Interesting, this is standard behaviour?
Is there no way to reset the entire environment, rather than variable by variable?
I'm curious about situations where you might be running scripts from different developers, any of which might clash on a variable name in an unexpected way.

Yes. A UI session that gets a variable defined, I would expect it to stay defined until it is explicitly undefined or the UI session is terminated/ended.
Yes, there is a way, which is also standard, terminate and restart the UI session.
Instead of keeping your single session "running" and worrying about how the "developers" have defined javscript variables as "local" or "global", review the script/s before running, approve them, then run them up in their own sqlcl instances:
If a developer "uses" a variable before defining it, then the script is run in a UI session that already had that variable defined and NOT undefined, then sure, it will pick up the value that is already defined. That is a bug in the developers code that used a variable before defining it (and thus not setting/resetting/changing its value). Not the UI's fault, the developers.
To make sure that sort of bug is picked up, run all scripts in their own sqlcl instance. No big deal.
If there were two different UI sessions running at the same time, then those variables would be exclusive to the individual UI session.
For example, if you had 5 scripts to run, from different developers, who's code you haven't reviewed and so can not trust, you could loop through each, in a shell script and run them one by one.
