Hi, Norris, we are trying to create a Java class in JavaScript. When security manager is on, everything works fine. But when security
manager is off, we got an error saying the "... is not defined". The problem is that in ScriptRuntime.java, when security is on,
getContextClassLoader is null due to SecurityException and Class.forName is used to find the class, which works fine. When security
is off, ContextClassLoaderMethod is invoked to find the class. Since we use a separate thread to load third party jar files,
ContextClassLoaderMethod will throw a ClassNotFound exception.
To illustrate this problem, I wrote a simple applet, evaluating a simple js file in its paint method, which is running on a separate thread.
When security is off, I got the following:
ReferenceError: "Global" is not defined.

When security is on, it runs fine. Or if the code moved to init method, it works fine regardless of security. We are using JDK 1.2.2.

Native code changes: This fix eradicates all
occurrences of the following symbols
nsComponentManager nsServiceManeger
And replaces them with their nsI counterparts.
The following ns* classes still are used in
webclient, and no plans exist to replace them
with nsI counterparts: nsresult nsCOMPtr
nsCRT nsnull * nsServiceManager occurrences
were replaced with do_GetService(), using a
PROGID. * nsComponentManager occurrences were replaced with a call on the global class gComponentManager, declared in the new file ns_globals.h, and defined in WrapperFactoryImpl.cpp. ns_globals.h is included in jni_util.h. See the attachment to bug 33099 for ns_globals.h * Added deallocation code to WindowControlImpl.cpp nativeTerminate. I know it doesn't do much, but it's correct. Java code changes: * Added static method BrowserControlFactory.appTerminate(). This method simply calls the existing BrowserControlImpl.appTerminate(), which calls WrapperFactoryImpl.cpp nativeTerminate(). BrowserControlFactory.appTerminate() is called from EmbeddedMozilla's WindowListener, which gets fired when the user signals she wants the app to terminate.
