Public availability of the global scope variable

[Ivan Eisen <ir...@us.ibm.com>]

I have and application where Rhino JavaScript routines are executed
repeatedly.   I have compiled them and cached the executable;  however,  I
had to modify the com\ibm\bsf\engines\javascript\JavaScriptEngine.java
routine to get  the private variable Scriptable global.  I need a way to
get the global scope so that I can get to declared beans that in our
JavaScript routines.   Are you planning to make the global scope variable
available in a future release?  If so when is that release scheduled.


Thanks,
Ivan

Apologies again for the late reply, Ivan.

It had not been the intent to provide access to the global scope
via the Scriptable variable global.
I am curious as to why you need access to this variable; since you
have declared the beans to BSF, and modified them via Javascript,
you should still be able to access them via the calling Java code.

I'm afraid I need a little more information, to understand your
requirements.
