I'm not 100% sure, but yeah, I think you can do this in the manner you have described.
You can't really have objects make changes to other objects and have that persist across contexts, but you can certainly create an ObjectTemplate for your "Session" , create an ObjectTemplate for "Request", and then have "Requests" parent be ObjectTemplate. Refer to this section of the v8 docs for ideas on how to do that: http://bespin.cz/~ondras/html/classv8_1_1FunctionTemplate.html#aa2bcc2652b5f0fdbc666d943ccf72021 On Wed, Jun 6, 2012 at 11:54 AM, MikeM <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying to determine if it is possible to chain two global objects > together via prototype chain. > My setup is basically a "web server" where there are two global > objects in play. > Each trip to the web server (a request) runs server side JS. > > The 1st is the "request global'.
