I've been using Rhino for about a year with almost no problems. However,
I downloaded the latest Rhino tip (rhino15R2pre) and discovered a
significant difference in exception handling.
I rely heavily on JavaScript code like the following:
try {
var em = new ExceptionMaker();
em.npe(); // method throws a java.lang.NullPointerException
//em.ae(); // method throws a Packages.AutomationException
}
catch (e if (e instanceof java.lang.NullPointerException)) {
java.lang.System.out.println("Caught a NullPointerException");
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (e if (e instanceof Packages.AutomationException)) {
java.lang.System.out.println("Caught an AutomationException");
}
catch (e) {
java.lang.System.out.println("Caught an unexpected exception: "+e);
}
finally {
java.lang.System.out.println("Finally!");
}
Previous Rhino versions worked as expected. The exception thrown from
within the host object would be caught and the appropriate actions could
be taken.
With the most recent tip, the thrown exceptions simply are not caught
within the JavaScript. They propagate back to the Java function invoking
the (in my case) Context.evaluateReader() method.
Running the above JS fragement with the older tip displayed the
following stack trace (when the NullPointerException was caught):
Rhino Version: JavaScript-Java 1.5 release 1 2000 03 15

Curiously, both Rhino versions seem to be returning the same string from
Context.getImplementionVerison();
Anyway, the results from the two runs are clearly different: In the
first case, the exception is thown, the correct catch block is invoked
(hence the stace trace), and the finally block is invoked. In the second
case, the exception is thrown, the finally block is invoked, and the
exception is handled by the calling Java method rather than being
handled by the JavaScript code.
After some research, it appears this change was introducted by a
modification to FunctionObject.call() (See
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64788) which used to have:
try {
Object result = (method != null)
? method.invoke(thisObj, invokeArgs)
: ctor.newInstance(invokeArgs);
return hasVoidReturn ? Undefined.instance : result;
}
but now has:
Object result = method == null ?
ctor.newInstance(invokeArgs)
: doInvoke(thisObj,
invokeArgs);
If I comment out the new code and replace it with the old, the expected
exception handling returns. Is this just an oversight or the new
expected behavior? Are there any negative side effects (other then the
speed decrease in method invocation) if I use the latest tip but use the
old method invocation procedure in FunctionObject.call() rather than the
new?
