Class ScriptableObject

java.lang.Object
  org.mozilla.javascript.ScriptableObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, org.mozilla.javascript.ConstProperties, org.mozilla.javascript.debug.DebuggableObject, Scriptable

Direct Known Subclasses:

org.mozilla.javascript.IdScriptableObject

public abstract class ScriptableObject
extends java.lang.Object
implements Scriptable, java.io.Serializable, org.mozilla.javascript.debug.DebuggableObject, org.mozilla.javascript.ConstProperties

This is the default implementation of the Scriptable interface. This class provides convenient default behavior that makes it easier to define host objects.

Various properties and methods of JavaScript objects can be conveniently defined using methods of ScriptableObject.

Classes extending ScriptableObject must define the getClassName method.

public java.lang.Object getDefaultValue(java.lang.Class typeHint)

Implements the [[DefaultValue]] internal method.

Note that the toPrimitive conversion is a no-op for every type other than Object, for which [[DefaultValue]] is called. See ECMA 9.1.

A hint of null means "no hint".

getDefaultValue in interface Scriptable

Parameters:

typeHint - the type hint

Returns:

the default value for the object See ECMA 8.6.2.6.

getDefaultValue

public static java.lang.Object getDefaultValue(Scriptable object,

This operator has been proposed to ECMA.

Specified by:

hasInstance in interface Scriptable

Parameters:

Returns:

true if "this" appears in value's prototype chain

avoidObjectDetection

public boolean avoidObjectDetection()

Emulate the SpiderMonkey (and Firefox) feature of allowing custom objects to avoid detection by normal "object detection" code patterns. This is used to implement document.all. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412247. This is an analog to JOF_DETECTING from SpiderMonkey; see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248549. Other than this special case, embeddings should return false.

Returns:

true if this object should avoid object detection

Since:

1.7R1

equivalentValues

protected java.lang.Object equivalentValues(java.lang.Object value)

Custom == operator. Must return Scriptable.NOT_FOUND if this object does not have custom equality operator for the given value, Boolean.TRUE if this object is equivalent to value, Boolean.FALSE if this object is not equivalent to value.

The default implementation returns Boolean.TRUE if this == value or Scriptable.NOT_FOUND otherwise. It indicates that by default custom equality is available only if value is this in which case true is returned.

defineClass

public static void defineClass(Scriptable scope,
                               java.lang.Class clazz)
                        throws java.lang.IllegalAccessException,
                               java.lang.InstantiationException,
                               java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Defines JavaScript objects from a Java class that implements Scriptable. If the given class has a method

 static void init(Context cx, Scriptable scope, boolean sealed);

or its compatibility form

 static void init(Scriptable scope);

then it is invoked and no further initialization is done.

However, if no such a method is found, then the class's constructors and methods are used to initialize a class in the following manner.

First, the zero-parameter constructor of the class is called to create the prototype. If no such constructor exists, a EvaluatorException is thrown.

Next, all methods are scanned for special prefixes that indicate that they have special meaning for defining JavaScript objects. These special prefixes are

• jsFunction_ for a JavaScript function
• jsStaticFunction_ for a JavaScript function that is a property of the constructor
• jsGet_ for a getter of a JavaScript property
• jsSet_ for a setter of a JavaScript property
• jsConstructor for a JavaScript function that is the constructor

If the method's name begins with "jsFunction_", a JavaScript function is created with a name formed from the rest of the Java method name following "jsFunction_". So a Java method named "jsFunction_foo" will define a JavaScript method "foo". Calling this JavaScript function will cause the Java method to be called. The parameters of the method must be of number and types as defined by the FunctionObject class. The JavaScript function is then added as a property of the prototype.

If the method's name begins with "jsStaticFunction_", it is handled similarly except that the resulting JavaScript function is added as a property of the constructor object. The Java method must be static. If the method's name begins with "jsGet_" or "jsSet_", the method is considered to define a property. Accesses to the defined property will result in calls to these getter and setter methods. If no setter is defined, the property is defined as READONLY.

If the method's name is "jsConstructor", the method is considered to define the body of the constructor. Only one method of this name may be defined. If no method is found that can serve as constructor, a Java constructor will be selected to serve as the JavaScript constructor in the following manner. If the class has only one Java constructor, that constructor is used to define the JavaScript constructor. If the the class has two constructors, one must be the zero-argument constructor (otherwise an EvaluatorException would have already been thrown when the prototype was to be created). In this case the Java constructor with one or more parameters will be used to define the JavaScript constructor. If the class has three or more constructors, an EvaluatorException will be thrown.

Finally, if there is a method

 static void finishInit(Scriptable scope, FunctionObject constructor,
                        Scriptable prototype)

it will be called to finish any initialization. The scope argument will be passed, along with the newly created constructor and the newly created prototype.

Parameters:

scope - The scope in which to define the constructor.

clazz - The Java class to use to define the JavaScript objects and properties.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if access is not available to a reflected class member

java.lang.InstantiationException - if unable to instantiate the named class

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if an exception is thrown during execution of methods of the named class

defineClass

public static void defineClass(Scriptable scope,
                               java.lang.Class clazz,
                               boolean sealed)
                        throws java.lang.IllegalAccessException,
                               java.lang.InstantiationException,
                               java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Defines JavaScript objects from a Java class, optionally allowing sealing. Similar to defineClass(Scriptable scope, Class clazz) except that sealing is allowed. An object that is sealed cannot have properties added or removed. Note that sealing is not allowed in the current ECMA/ISO language specification, but is likely for the next version.

Parameters:

scope - The scope in which to define the constructor.

clazz - The Java class to use to define the JavaScript objects and properties. The class must implement Scriptable.

sealed - Whether or not to create sealed standard objects that cannot be modified.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if access is not available to a reflected class member

java.lang.InstantiationException - if unable to instantiate the named class

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if an exception is thrown during execution of methods of the named class

                                           java.lang.Class clazz,
                                           boolean sealed,
                                           boolean mapInheritance)
                                    throws java.lang.IllegalAccessException,
                                           java.lang.InstantiationException,
                                           java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Defines JavaScript objects from a Java class, optionally allowing sealing and mapping of Java inheritance to JavaScript prototype-based inheritance. Similar to defineClass(Scriptable scope, Class clazz) except that sealing and inheritance mapping are allowed. An object that is sealed cannot have properties added or removed. Note that sealing is not allowed in the current ECMA/ISO language specification, but is likely for the next version.

Parameters:

scope - The scope in which to define the constructor.

clazz - The Java class to use to define the JavaScript objects and properties. The class must implement Scriptable.

sealed - Whether or not to create sealed standard objects that cannot be modified.

mapInheritance - Whether or not to map Java inheritance to JavaScript prototype-based inheritance.

Returns:

the class name for the prototype of the specified class

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if access is not available to a reflected class member

java.lang.InstantiationException - if unable to instantiate the named class

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if an exception is thrown during execution of methods of the named class

Since:

1.6R2

defineProperty

public void defineProperty(java.lang.String propertyName,
                           java.lang.Object value,
                           int attributes)

Define a JavaScript property. Creates the property with an initial value and sets its attributes.

Parameters:

propertyName - the name of the property to define.

value - the initial value of the property

attributes - the attributes of the JavaScript property

Scriptable.put(String, Scriptable, Object)

defineProperty

public static void defineProperty(Scriptable destination,
                                  java.lang.String propertyName,
                                  java.lang.Object value,
                                  int attributes)

Utility method to add properties to arbitrary Scriptable object. If destination is instance of ScriptableObject, calls defineProperty there, otherwise calls put in destination ignoring attributes

defineConstProperty

public static void defineConstProperty(Scriptable destination,
                                       java.lang.String propertyName)

Utility method to add properties to arbitrary Scriptable object. If destination is instance of ScriptableObject, calls defineProperty there, otherwise calls put in destination ignoring attributes

defineProperty

public void defineProperty(java.lang.String propertyName,
                           java.lang.Class clazz,
                           int attributes)

Define a JavaScript property with getter and setter side effects. If the setter is not found, the attribute READONLY is added to the given attributes.

The getter must be a method with zero parameters, and the setter, if found, must be a method with one parameter.

Parameters:

propertyName - the name of the property to define. This name also affects the name of the setter and getter to search for. If the propertyId is "foo", then clazz will be searched for "getFoo" and "setFoo" methods.

clazz - the Java class to search for the getter and setter

attributes - the attributes of the JavaScript property

Scriptable.put(String, Scriptable, Object)

defineProperty

public void defineProperty(java.lang.String propertyName,
                           java.lang.Object delegateTo,
                           java.lang.reflect.Method getter,
                           java.lang.reflect.Method setter,
                           int attributes)

Define a JavaScript property. Use this method only if you wish to define getters and setters for a given property in a ScriptableObject. To create a property without special getter or setter side effects, use defineProperty(String,int). If setter is null, the attribute READONLY is added to the given attributes.

Several forms of getters or setters are allowed. In all cases the type of the value parameter can be any one of the following types: Object, String, boolean, Scriptable, byte, short, int, long, float, or double. The runtime will perform appropriate conversions based upon the type of the parameter (see description in FunctionObject). The first forms are nonstatic methods of the class referred to by 'this':

 Object getFoo();
 void setFoo(SomeType value);

Next are static methods that may be of any class; the object whose property is being accessed is passed in as an extra argument:

 static Object getFoo(Scriptable obj);
 static void setFoo(Scriptable obj, SomeType value);

Finally, it is possible to delegate to another object entirely using the delegateTo parameter. In this case the methods are nonstatic methods of the class delegated to, and the object whose property is being accessed is passed in as an extra argument:

 Object getFoo(Scriptable obj);
 void setFoo(Scriptable obj, SomeType value);

Parameters:

propertyName - the name of the property to define.

delegateTo - an object to call the getter and setter methods on, or null, depending on the form used above.

getter - the method to invoke to get the value of the property

setter - the method to invoke to set the value of the property

attributes - the attributes of the JavaScript property

defineFunctionProperties

public void defineFunctionProperties(java.lang.String[] names,
                                     java.lang.Class clazz,
                                     int attributes)

Search for names in a class, adding the resulting methods as properties.

Uses reflection to find the methods of the given names. Then FunctionObjects are constructed from the methods found, and are added to this object as properties with the given names.

Parameters:

names - the names of the Methods to add as function properties

clazz - the class to search for the Methods

attributes - the attributes of the new properties

                                           java.lang.String className)

Get the prototype for the named class. For example, getClassPrototype(s, "Date") will first walk up the parent chain to find the outermost scope, then will search that scope for the Date constructor, and then will return Date.prototype. If any of the lookups fail, or the prototype is not a JavaScript object, then null will be returned.

Gets an indexed property from an object or any object in its prototype chain.

Searches the prototype chain for a property with integral index index. Note that if you wish to look for properties with numerical but non-integral indicies, you should use getProperty(Scriptable,String) with the string value of the index.

Parameters:

obj - a JavaScript object

index - an integral index

Returns:

the value of a property with index index found in obj or any object in its prototype chain, or Scriptable.NOT_FOUND if not found

                                    boolean isConst)

If hasProperty(obj, name) would return true, then if the property that was found is compatible with the new property, this method just returns. If the property is not compatible, then an exception is thrown. A property redefinition is incompatible if the first definition was a const declaration or if this one is. They are compatible only if neither was const.

Puts a named property in an object or in an object in its prototype chain.

Searches for the named property in the prototype chain. If it is found, the value of the property in obj is changed through a call to Scriptable.put(String, Scriptable, Object) on the prototype passing obj as the start argument. This allows the prototype to veto the property setting in case the prototype defines the property with [[ReadOnly]] attribute. If the property is not found, it is added in obj.
