I am working on a new class and I want to expose instance fields and
methods via a prototype via JSNI so I can call from third party script
into my GWT code like this.
var mySimpleObject = new Simple("test");
test.callMyName();
I have been working through a series of examples that build on each
other but I am not sure that my assumptions about why the ones that
work really work and why the ones that fail really fail.
Here they are -- JSNI experts please comment!
Thanks!
package com.test.client;
public class Simple {
public String name;
public Simple(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public static Simple createSimple(String name) {
return new Simple(name);
}
// this works becuase you are passing in the Simple reference
public native void callMyNameWorks(Simple myInstance)
/*-{
$wnd.callMyName = function(){
alert( [EMAIL PROTECTED]::name);
}
alert( [EMAIL PROTECTED]::name);
$wnd.callMyName();

// this works because we COPY the reference and store it in a
closure.
