toSource() function missing from FlowScript ?

Hi All

On the Users list :

     http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon- 
users&m=116114940529489&w=2

We were having a discussion about the easiest way to send FlowScript  
Objects as JSON data to the client.

I suggested using the Object.toSource() function explained here :

     http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/ 
Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Global_Objects:Object:toSource

TBH I had not actually tried it when I sent that advice, now I am  
trying it, I find that toSource() is not implemented in the version  
of Rhino used in FlowScript.

According to the docs above, toSource was added in Javascript 1.3.

Can anyone explain what is going wrong ?

thanks

regards Jeremy

According to the Rhino changelog[1], toSource/uneval support was added 
in Rhino 1.5R5.  Cocoon 2.1.x uses a forked 1.5R4, so yes it would be 
missing support.  Cocoon trunk uses Rhino 1.6 so support should be there.
