149584 - initStandardObjects should take Scriptable not ScriptableObject?

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, defect)

Description

[Hermann Röscheisen]

I think initStandardObjects should take Scriptable as parameter, not 
ScriptableObject. My problem is this: One of my classes inherits from a 
third party framework, so I cannot use ScriptableObject as base class, 
rather must implement the Interface Scriptable. But this is not allowed as 
Parameter for initStandardObjects. Am I doing something completely 
wrong?

initStandardObjects uses additional methods available in ScriptableObject to
initialize the library properly. In theory one can invent an additional
interface to cover initStandardObjects needs but that would lead only to code
bloat compared with a simple workaround that adheres to ECMAScript spirit much
better which is to use prototype chain. 

See http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/scopes.html for details but in short instead of
using 

cx.initStandardObjects(objectImplementingScriptable)

use

Scripatble scope = cx.initStandardObjects(null);
objectImplementingScriptable.sepPrototype(scope);
