14060 - exec methods not callable through LiveConnect

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, defect, P3)

Description

[Norris Boyd]

This is a bug. The "exec" method is special because when used on a Script object
it captures the
current execution environment. Something in the implementation of that special
behavior must be
broken.

In the meantime, you can use
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime()["exec"]("prog1")

  Help...

  I am trying to use the rhino js engine to call either the Runtime.exec
  method or the JSObject.eval method eg
  java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("prog1")

  and keep getting

  Java method "exec" was invoked with a 'this' value that was not a Java
  object.

  Any ideas ?

  Thanks.

Moving Rhino bugs to new Rhino product.

Fixed - when 'exec' is invoked on a java object it needs the js 'this' arg, not
the function 'this' arg.
