Method Detail

call

java.lang.Object call(Context cx,
                      Scriptable scope,
                      Scriptable thisObj,
                      java.lang.Object[] args)

Call the function.

Note that the array of arguments is not guaranteed to have length greater than 0.

Specified by:

call in interface Callable

Parameters:

cx - the current Context for this thread

scope - the scope to execute the function relative to. This is set to the value returned by getParentScope() except when the function is called from a closure.

thisObj - the JavaScript this object

args - the array of arguments

Returns:

the result of the call

construct

Scriptable construct(Context cx,
                     Scriptable scope,
                     java.lang.Object[] args)

Call the function as a constructor.

This method is invoked by the runtime in order to satisfy a use of the JavaScript new operator. This method is expected to create a new object and return it.

Specified by:

construct in interface Constructable

Parameters:

cx - the current Context for this thread

scope - an enclosing scope of the caller except when the function is called from a closure.

args - the array of arguments

Returns:

the allocated object
