Norris, please find the attached zip file containing the (minor)
modifications to the Rhino shell module that enables the shell to be
embedded in a host application.
There are two areas of change to be concerned about:
1. Any and all references to System.in/out/err have been modified to use
Main.in/out/err, which default to System.in/out/err. Methods to do a setIn,
setOut, and setErr were added. Note that in/out/err on Main were made
static public, so that the jikes compiler wouldn't complain (I had them as
static protected, but when accessed outside of the package, a warning was
issued).
2. The global and sharedGlobal static variables were made protected so
that my app can make use of them (to add extensions after an initial pass
through main()).
That's it.
I have successfully used the facility to drop a remote telnet server into
the shell interpreter, effectively giving our server a remote shell
interpreter. It's quite nice, as we have a lot of extensions to Rhino
written that blend into our server already.
PS, I am still working on the array issues, but made a lot of progress
today. I just wanted to get this stuff off my desk.
Thanks!

Attached is NativeJavaObject.java, which seems to now pass the tests supplied to me by you and Scott. Not a lot of change, but a lot of
testing and thinking was involved. <g>
PS. I also fixed a bug in reportConversionError() which was throwing an IllegalArgumentException inside of the MessageFormat class at times.
It also looks a little nicer (uses formatting from NativeJavaMethod) and closer to the C implementation.

The fix sort of works. But there are some new problems. I enclosed two JavaScript files, button.js and image.js.
If I load button.js first and then image.js, I got the following:
js> load("button.js");
js> load("image.js");
Ambiguous import: [JavaClass javax.swing.ImageIcon] and [JavaClass javax.swing.ImageIcon]
js> load("image.js");
Ambiguous import: [JavaClass java.net.URL] and [JavaClass java.net.URL]
js> load("image.js");
Ambiguous import: [JavaClass java.lang.System] and [JavaClass java.lang.System]
js> load("image.js");
loadImage for 0
Ambiguous import: [JavaClass java.awt.Toolkit] and [JavaClass java.awt.Toolkit]
js> load("image.js");
loadImage for 0
js>
If I load imag.js first and then button.js, I got the following:
js> load("image.js");
loadImage for 0
js: [JavaPackage java.lang.URL] is not a function.
[JavaPackage java.lang.URL] is not a function.
js> load("image.js");
js: [JavaPackage java.lang.ImageIcon] is not a function.
[JavaPackage java.lang.ImageIcon] is not a function.
js> load("image.js");
js: [JavaPackage java.lang.ImageIcon] is not a function.

[JavaPackage java.lang.JButton] is not a function.
js> load("image.js");
js: [JavaPackage java.lang.ImageIcon] is not a function.
[JavaPackage java.lang.ImageIcon] is not a function.

It looks like something wrong in the image.js file but this should not interfere with button.js. It looks like some arbitary package objects are created, like java.lang.URL. This happened in NativeJavaPackage.get method. If a class of java.lang.URL is not found, a package object is then created. So next time the interpreter encounters URL, it somehow uses the object java.lang.URL instead of the correct class object java.net.URL.. This is one problem. The interference between button.js and jmage.js is another problem.

Hi, The following script will cause an EvaluatorException: Ambiguous import: [JavaPackage java.awt.JButton] and [JavaPackage
java.awt.Packages.javax.swing.JButton] in the js shell:
js>importPackage(java.awt);
js>importPackage(Packages.javax.swing);
js>new JButton();.
The current JS shell will not print this exception message, even though the comment says "// Already printed message, so just fall
through". I add System.err.println(ee.getMessage()); for this exception.
The problem is that in NativeJavaPackage.get(String, Scriptable) method, if a ClassNotFoundException is caught, a
NativeJavaPackage object is created and passed back to ImporterTopLevel.get Method. So in ImporterTopLevel.get method, object v
is always not NOT_FOUND and the ambiguous exception will be thrown. Object v is supposed to be a Class object but it actually is
a Package object.
The fix can be either (1) in NativeJavaPackage.get(String, Scriptable) method, if a ClassNotFoundException is caught, return a
NOT_FOUND object (you may still create a Package object) or (2) in ImporterTopLevel.get method, make sure the returned object
from NativeJavaPackage.get method is of NativeJavaClass type.

reflection and illegal package access

If you run Rhino under JDK1.2 with a security manager:
java -Djava.security.manager=java.lang.SecurityManager
org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main
Then reflection fails for objects that are in a restricted access package
(e.g. sun.*). Rhino is reflecting based on the dynamic type of the object
instead of the declared static return type.
In this example, createImage is declared to return java.awt.Image, but it
returns sun.awt.image.OffScreenImage. Attempting to reflect this class
results in a java.security.AccessControlException for
java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.awt.image.
Here is the script. You will need to type it in because you won't be able
to load it from a file due to the security manager.
var f = new java.awt.Frame();
f.setVisible(true);
var i = f.createImage(10,10);

When I try to pass a null argument to an interface implemented in JS, I get:
js: Cannot convert null to an object.

var b = new Packages.javax.swing.border.Border() {

}
};
b.getBorderInsets(null);
Here is the stack trace where the exception is happening:

Context.toObject does not allow wrapping nulls.
JavaAdapter.generateOverride should generate bytecode to check if an
argument is null and if it is not call Context.toObject.
I'll take a look at fixing this after the other JavaAdapter patches get
checked in so we don't get out of sync.

I have a patch for this. I generate bytecode in
JavaAdapter.generateReturnResult to check the return type on the stack from
JavaAdapter.callMethod. If it is Undefined, return null.
I'm not positive this is the right way to fix this - maybe it should be
fixed closer to the source (e.g. prevent callMethod from returning
Undefined to begin with)

Attached is a patch to the patch I sent a while ago for the JavaAdapter stuff.
If a SecurityManager is installed, attempting to access the
"org.mozilla.javascript.JavaAdapter" system property can throw a
SecurityException. This should not prevent the default JavaAdapter
implementation from being used.

Rhino reflection patch

When JavaAdapter generates an adapter class, it does not take into account
the types of method parameters when wrapping the generated methods arguments.
This means that if a non-public class implements a public interface the
non-public class type will be wrapped instead of the declared public
interface - and methods cannot be invoked via the wrapper.
I have attached sample code (reflect-demo.zip) which shows this. The
JavaScript caller.js generates an adapter implementing the CallerInterface
interface. CallerInterface has a method (doSomething) which takes an
argument of type pkg.Interface. pkg.Target is a non-public class that
implements pkg.Interface. If an instance of pkg.Target is passed to the
CallerInterface adapter doSomething method, an Error is thrown because
pkg.Target.doSomething is called (instead of pkg.Interface.doSomething) and
pkg.Target is not public.
I have attached a patch to Context.java, ScriptRuntime.java and
JavaAdapter.java. I overloaded toObject in Context and ScriptRuntime to
take a 3rd argument which is the declared type of the object being
wrapped. This is passed to NativeJavaObject.wrap so that it generates the
correct wrapper. I changed JavaAdapter.generateOverride to generate
bytecode calling Context.toObject passing the declared Class type of the
argument.
Context.java also includes my previously submitted patch for dealing with
SecurityExceptions and the JavaAdapter property (because this patch has not
been checked into CVS yet).

Thanks go to Andrew Wason <aw@softcom.com> for finding this problem and providing the patch:
If we implement a Java interface in JavaScript, and a method in that interface returns a Java object, we get a java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: org/mozilla/javascript/Wrapper exception.
We have attached a sample JavaScript file which duplicates the error.
The problem is JavaAdapter is generating an INVOKEVIRTUAL bytecode to call Wrapper.unwrap, but Wrapper is an interface and so INVOKEINTERFACE should be used instead. As a result of this change, the IFEQ bytecode generated needs to jump more bytes. We have attached a patch that fixes the problem.

- normalized initial MPL comment to match the format of others in the tree, including an initial -*- Mode line.
- removed RCS $log$, etc. comments. We use CVS, and they just make spurious changes...
Support for jsGet_ and jsSet_ prefixes to methods for explicit getter
and setter definition.
Addition of "importClass" and "importPackage" top-level functions.
The beginnings of a history object accessible from the shell.
- check static members of instances in JavaMembers.put
- do not unwrap Wrappers before calling NativeJavaMethod.findFunction
or NativeJavaObject.coerceType; both methods may need extra information
provided by the wrapper.
- separate Java signatures for resolving overloaded methods and script
signatures for error messages, so we can distinguish primitive types
from classes.
- separate Java signatures for resolving overloaded methods and script

- correct bug which preferred the *less* specific of two classes in
NativeJavaMethod.preferSignature
- add new LC3 conversion rules to NativeJavaObject.coerceTypes.
- coerce JS numbers to Java numbers or chars only if the JS number is in
