/**
* This is a sort of a placeholder interface. It is not intended to be
* implemented. It exists to give the nsIXPCSecurityManager an iid on
* which to gate a specific activity in XPConnect.
*
* That activity is...
*
* When JavaScript code uses a component that is itself implemented in
* JavaScript then XPConnect will build a wrapper rather than directly
* expose the JSObject of the component. This allows components implemented
* in JavaScript to 'look' just like any other xpcom component (from the
* perspective of the JavaScript caller). This insulates the component from
* the caller and hides any properties or methods that are not part of the
* interface as declared in xpidl. Usually this is a good thing.
*
* However, in some cases it is useful to allow the JS caller access to the
* JS component's underlying implementation. In order to facilitate this
* XPConnect supports the 'wrappedJSObject' property. The caller code can do:
*
* // 'foo' is some xpcom component (that might be implemented in JS).
* try {
* var bar = foo.wrappedJSObject;
* if(bar) {
* // bar is the underlying JSObject. Do stuff with it here.
* }
* } catch(e) {
* // security exception?
* }
*
* Recall that 'foo' above is an XPConnect wrapper, not the underlying JS
* object. The property get "foo.wrappedJSObject" will only succeed if three
* conditions are met:
*
* 1) 'foo' really is an XPConnect wrapper around a JSObject.
* 2) The underlying JSObject actually implements a "wrappedJSObject"
* property that returns a JSObject. This is called by XPConnect. This
* restriction allows wrapped objects to only allow access to the underlying
* JSObject if they choose to do so. Ususally this just means that 'foo'
* would have a property tht looks like:
* this.wrappedJSObject = this.
* 3) The implemementation of nsIXPCSecurityManager (if installed) allows
* a property get on the interface below. Although the JSObject need not
* implement 'nsIXPCWrappedJSObjectGetter', XPConnect will ask the
* security manager if it is OK for the caller to access the only method
* in nsIXPCWrappedJSObjectGetter before allowing the activity. This fits
* in with the security manager paradigm and makes control over accessing
* the property on this interface the control factor for getting the
* underlying wrapped JSObject of a JS component from JS code.
*
* Notes:
*
* a) If 'foo' above were the underlying JSObject and not a wrapper at all,
* then this all just works and XPConnect is not part of the picture at all.
* b) One might ask why 'foo' should not just implement an interface through
* which callers might get at the underlying object. There are three reasons:
* i) XPConnect would still have to do magic since JSObject is not a
* scriptable type.
* ii) JS Components might use aggregation (like C++ objects) and have
* different JSObjects for different interfaces 'within' an aggregate
* object. But, using an additional interface only allows returning one
* underlying JSObject. However, this allows for the possibility that
* each of the aggregte JSObjects could return something different.
* Note that one might do: this.wrappedJSObject = someOtherObject;
* iii) Avoiding the explicit interface makes it easier for both the caller
* and the component.
*
* Anyway, some future implementation of nsIXPCSecurityManager might want
* do special processing on 'nsIXPCSecurityManager::CanGetProperty' when
* the interface id is that of nsIXPCWrappedJSObjectGetter.

/*
* This interface is implemented by outside code and registered with xpconnect
* via nsIXPConnect::setFunctionThisTranslator.
*
* The reason this exists is to support calls to JavaScript event callbacks
* needed by the DOM via xpconnect from C++ code.
*
* We've added support for wrapping JS function objects as xpcom interfaces
* by declaring the given interface as a [function] interface. However, to
* support the requirements of JS event callbacks we need to call the JS
* function with the 'this' set as the JSObject for which the event is being
* fired; e.g. a form node.
*
* We've decided that for all cases we care about the appropriate 'this' object
* can be derived from the first param in the call to the callback. In the
* event handler case the first param is an event object.
*
* Though we can't change all the JS code so that it would setup its own 'this',
* we can add plugin 'helper' support to xpconnect. And that is what we have
* here.
*
* The idea is that at startup time some code that cares about this issue
* (e.g. the DOM helper code) can register a nsIXPCFunctionThisTranslator
* object with xpconnect to handle calls to [function] interfaces of a given
* iid. When xpconnect goes to invoke a method on a wrapped JSObject for
* an interface marked as [function], xpconnect will check if the first param
* of the method is an xpcom object pointer and if so it will check to see if a
* nsIXPCFunctionThisTranslator has been registered for the given iid of the
* interface being called. If so it will call the translator and get an
* interface pointer to use as the 'this' for the call. If the translator
* returns a non-null interface pointer (which it should then have addref'd
* since it is being returned as an out param), xpconnect will attempt to build
* a wrapper around the pointer and get a JSObject from that wrapper to use
* as the 'this' for the call.
*
* If a null interface pointer is returned then xpconnect will use the default
* 'this' - the same JSObject as the function object it is calling.
