The code

Scriptable xo = cx.newObject (scope, "XML");

(with scope = cx.initStandardObjects(null)) fails because Context.topLevelScope is null. According to the doc, this call should work, however.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1

[Michael Lipp]

It is Context.topCallScope which is null, of course.

Comment 3

[Attila Szegedi]

When I do this:

Context cx = Context.enter();
Scriptable scope = cx.initStandardObjects(null);
cx.newObject(scope, "XML");

I get:

Exception in thread "main" org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: TypeError: Not Parsable as XML
	at org.mozilla.javascript.ScriptRuntime.constructError(ScriptRuntime.java:3226)
	at org.mozilla.javascript.ScriptRuntime.constructError(ScriptRuntime.java:3216)

So, it looks like it fails differently than you said. Can you provide a stack trace that you got? And provide the Rhino version? Also, what docs say that this should work?

[David Caldwell]

This code executes correctly in the coming DOM (non-XMLBeans) E4X implementation (see Bug 355677).  Hope my attempt to link the two above works.

Comment 5

[David Caldwell]

This code now works if XMLBeans is not present.  See bug 355677.

Adding target milestone of 1.6R6 based on the date this bug was resolved FIXED.
