script value (ScriptEngine)

I try to get some information in my script from my java program by using ScriptEngineManager. Why values of the variables I would love to get were null? How can I get a variable's value from the script?

My script...
function googleMapCal(lat, lng, city, region, country)
{
	var ClientLoc = google.loader.ClientLocation;
	drawMap(ClientLoc);
	lat = ClientLoc.latitude;
	lng = ClientLoc.Longitude;
	city = ClientLoc.address.city;
	region = ClientLoc.address.region;
	country = ClientLoc.address.country;
}
 
function drawMap(ClientLoc) {
    if (google.loader.ClientLocation) {
        var cl = google.loader.ClientLocation;
        var location = [cl.address.city, cl.address.region, cl.address.country].join(', ');
        ClientLoc = cl;
    } else {
        document.getElementById('cantfindyou').innerHTML = "Crap, I don't know. Good hiding!";
    }
}
 
Where I try to get values....
		ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
		ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
		Bindings vars = new SimpleBindings();
 
		// Run Javascript
		try{
			engine.eval("function googleMapCal(lat, lng, city, region, country)" +
			"{" +
				"var ClientLoc = google.loader.ClientLocation;" +
				"drawMap(ClientLoc);" +
				"lat = ClientLoc.latitude;" +
				"lng = ClientLoc.Longitude;" +
				"city = ClientLoc.address.city;" +
				"region = ClientLoc.address.region;" +
				"country = ClientLoc.address.country;" +
			"}", vars);
		} catch (ScriptException ex){
			ex.printStackTrace();
		}
		
		// Get JavaScript Variables
		lat = (String)vars.get("lat");
		lng = (String)vars.get("lng");
		city = (String)vars.get("city");
		country = (String)vars.get("country");
		region = (String)vars.get("region");
		System.out.println("You are from " + lat + "/" + lng + "/" + city + "/" + country + "/" + region);

Any help?
Is there any example which contains both javascript and java examples? All I can find is examples in java about how I can use ScriptEngineManager.

By the way, I try to create a web application with google wizard and eclipse. Please help me~
