public interface Scriptable
Host system implementors may find it easier to extend the ScriptableObject class rather than implementing Scriptable when writing host objects.
There are many static methods defined in ScriptableObject that perform the multiple calls to the Scriptable interface needed in order to manipulate properties in prototype chains.

static final java.lang.Object NOT_FOUND
get if the property is not found.java.lang.String getClassName()
See ECMA 8.6.2 and 15.2.4.2.
java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String name,
Scriptable start)
Looks property up in this object and returns the associated value if found. Returns NOT_FOUND if not found. Note that this method is not expected to traverse the prototype chain. This is different from the ECMA [[Get]] operation.
Depending on the property selector, the runtime will call this method or the form of
get that takes an integer:
| JavaScript code | Java code |
|---|---|
| a.b | a.get("b", a) |
| a["foo"] | a.get("foo", a) |
| a[3] | a.get(3, a) |
| a["3"] | a.get(3, a) |
| a[3.0] | a.get(3, a) |
| a["3.0"] | a.get("3.0", a) |
| a[1.1] | a.get("1.1", a) |
| a[-4] | a.get(-4, a) |
The values that may be returned are limited to the following:
name - the name of the propertystart - the object in which the lookup beganContext.getUndefinedValue()java.lang.Object get(int index,
Scriptable start)
Identical to get(String, Scriptable) except that an integral index is used to
select the property.
index - the numeric index for the propertystart - the object in which the lookup beganget(String,Scriptable)boolean has(java.lang.String name,
Scriptable start)
Does not traverse the prototype chain.
The property is specified by a String name as defined for the get method.
name - the name of the propertystart - the object in which the lookup beganget(String, Scriptable),
ScriptableObject.getProperty(Scriptable, String)boolean has(int index,
Scriptable start)
Does not traverse the prototype chain.
The property is specified by an integral index as defined for the get method.
index - the numeric index for the propertystart - the object in which the lookup beganget(int, Scriptable),
ScriptableObject.getProperty(Scriptable, int)void put(java.lang.String name,
Scriptable start,
java.lang.Object value)
The property is specified by a string name as defined for get.
The possible values that may be passed in are as defined for get. A class
that implements this method may choose to ignore calls to set certain properties, in which
case those properties are effectively read-only.
For properties defined in a prototype chain, use putProperty in
ScriptableObject.
Note that if a property a is defined in the prototype p of an object
o, then evaluating o.a = 23 will cause set to be called on
the prototype p with o as the start parameter. To preserve JavaScript
semantics, it is the Scriptable object's responsibility to modify o.
This design allows properties to be defined in prototypes and implemented in terms of getters and setters of Java values without consuming slots in each instance.
The values that may be set are limited to the following:
Arbitrary Java objects may be wrapped in a Scriptable by first calling
Context.toObject. This allows the property of a JavaScript object to contain an
arbitrary Java object as a value.
Note that has will be called by the runtime first before set is
called to determine in which object the property is defined. Note that this method is not
expected to traverse the prototype chain, which is different from the ECMA [[Put]] operation.
name - the name of the propertystart - the object whose property is being setvalue - value to set the property tohas(String, Scriptable),
get(String, Scriptable),
ScriptableObject.putProperty(Scriptable, String, Object),
Context.toObject(Object, Scriptable)void put(int index,
Scriptable start,
java.lang.Object value)
The property is specified by an integral index as defined for get.
Identical to put(String, Scriptable, Object) except that an integral index is
used to select the property.
index - the numeric index for the propertystart - the object whose property is being setvalue - value to set the property tohas(int, Scriptable),
get(int, Scriptable),
ScriptableObject.putProperty(Scriptable, int, Object),
Context.toObject(Object, Scriptable)void delete(java.lang.String name)
A property can be made permanent by ignoring calls to remove it.
The property is specified by a String name as defined for get.
To delete properties defined in a prototype chain, see deleteProperty in ScriptableObject.
name - the identifier for the propertyget(String, Scriptable),
ScriptableObject.deleteProperty(Scriptable, String)void delete(int index)
The property is specified by an integral index as defined for get.
To delete properties defined in a prototype chain, see deleteProperty in ScriptableObject.
Identical to delete(String) except that an integral index is used to select
the property.
index - the numeric index for the propertyget(int, Scriptable),
ScriptableObject.deleteProperty(Scriptable, int)Scriptable getPrototype()
void setPrototype(Scriptable prototype)
prototype - the prototype to setScriptable getParentScope()
void setParentScope(Scriptable parent)
parent - the parent scope to setjava.lang.Object[] getIds()
Not all property ids need be returned. Those properties whose ids are not returned are considered non-enumerable.
java.lang.Object getDefaultValue(java.lang.Class<?> hint)
A hint of null means "no hint".
See ECMA 8.6.2.6.
hint - the type hintboolean hasInstance(Scriptable instance)
The JavaScript code "lhs instanceof rhs" causes rhs.hasInstance(lhs) to be called.
The return value is implementation dependent so that embedded host objects can return an appropriate value. See the JS 1.3 language documentation for more detail.
This operator corresponds to the proposed EMCA [[HasInstance]] operator.
instance - The value that appeared on the LHS of the instanceof operator
