Class Context

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.mozilla.javascript.Context

public class Context
extends java.lang.Object

This class represents the runtime context of an executing script. Before executing a script, an instance of Context must be created and associated with the thread that will be executing the script. The Context will be used to store information about the executing of the script such as the call stack. Contexts are associated with the current thread using the call(ContextAction) or enter() methods.

Different forms of script execution are supported. Scripts may be evaluated from the source directly, or first compiled and then later executed. Interactive execution is also supported.

Some aspects of script execution, such as type conversions and object creation, may be accessed directly through methods of Context.

FEATURE_NON_ECMA_GET_YEAR

public static final int FEATURE_NON_ECMA_GET_YEAR
Controls behaviour of Date.prototype.getYear(). If hasFeature(FEATURE_NON_ECMA_GET_YEAR) returns true, Date.prototype.getYear subtructs 1900 only if 1900 <= date < 2000. The default behavior of hasFeature(int) is always to subtruct 1900 as rquired by ECMAScript B.2.4.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_MEMBER_EXPR_AS_FUNCTION_NAME

public static final int FEATURE_MEMBER_EXPR_AS_FUNCTION_NAME
Control if member expression as function name extension is available. If hasFeature(FEATURE_MEMBER_EXPR_AS_FUNCTION_NAME) returns true, allow function memberExpression(args) { body } to be syntax sugar for memberExpression = function(args) { body }, when memberExpression is not a simple identifier. See ECMAScript-262, section 11.2 for definition of memberExpression. By default hasFeature(int) returns false.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER

public static final int FEATURE_RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER
Control if reserved keywords are treated as identifiers. If hasFeature(RESERVED_KEYWORD_AS_IDENTIFIER) returns true, treat future reserved keyword (see Ecma-262, section 7.5.3) as ordinary identifiers but warn about this usage. By default hasFeature(int) returns false.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_TO_STRING_AS_SOURCE

public static final int FEATURE_TO_STRING_AS_SOURCE
Control if toString() should returns the same result as toSource() when applied to objects and arrays. If hasFeature(FEATURE_TO_STRING_AS_SOURCE) returns true, calling toString() on JS objects gives the same result as calling toSource(). That is it returns JS source with code to create an object with all enumeratable fields of the original object instead of printing [object result of Scriptable.getClassName()].

By default hasFeature(int) returns true only if the current JS version is set to VERSION_1_2.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPERTIES

public static final int FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPERTIES
Control if properties __proto__ and __parent__ are treated specially. If hasFeature(FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPERTIES) returns true, treat __parent__ and __proto__ as special properties.

The properties allow to query and set scope and prototype chains for the objects. The special meaning of the properties is available only when they are used as the right hand side of the dot operator. For example, while x.__proto__ = y changes the prototype chain of the object x to point to y, x["__proto__"] = y simply assigns a new value to the property __proto__ in x even when the feature is on. By default hasFeature(int) returns true.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPRTIES

public static final int FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPRTIES
Deprecated. In previous releases, this name was given to FEATURE_PARENT_PROTO_PROPERTIES.
See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_E4X

public static final int FEATURE_E4X
Control if support for E4X(ECMAScript for XML) extension is available. If hasFeature(FEATURE_E4X) returns true, the XML syntax is available.

By default hasFeature(int) returns true if the current JS version is set to VERSION_DEFAULT or is at least VERSION_1_6.

Since:
1.6 Release 1
See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SCOPE

public static final int FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SCOPE
Control if dynamic scope should be used for name access. If hasFeature(FEATURE_DYNAMIC_SCOPE) returns true, then the name lookup during name resolution will use the top scope of the script or function which is at the top of JS execution stack instead of the top scope of the script or function from the current stack frame if the top scope of the top stack frame contains the top scope of the current stack frame on its prototype chain.

This is useful to define shared scope containing functions that can be called from scripts and functions using private scopes.

By default hasFeature(int) returns false.

Since:
1.6 Release 1
See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_STRICT_VARS

public static final int FEATURE_STRICT_VARS
Control if strict variable mode is enabled. When the feature is on Rhino reports runtime errors if assignment to a global variable that does not exist is executed. When the feature is off such assignments creates new variable in the global scope as required by ECMA 262.

By default hasFeature(int) returns false.

Since:
1.6 Release 1
See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_STRICT_EVAL

public static final int FEATURE_STRICT_EVAL
Control if strict eval mode is enabled. When the feature is on Rhino reports runtime errors if non-string argument is passed to the eval function. When the feature is off eval simply return non-string argument as is without performing any evaluation as required by ECMA 262.

By default hasFeature(int) returns false.

Since:
1.6 Release 1
See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_LOCATION_INFORMATION_IN_ERROR

public static final int FEATURE_LOCATION_INFORMATION_IN_ERROR
When the feature is on Rhino will add a "fileName" and "lineNumber" properties to Error objects automatically. When the feature is off, you have to explicitly pass them as the second and third argument to the Error constructor. Note that neither behaviour is fully ECMA 262 compliant (as 262 doesn't specify a three-arg constructor), but keeping the feature off results in Error objects that don't have additional non-ECMA properties when constructed using the ECMA-defined single-arg constructor and is thus desirable if a stricter ECMA compliance is desired, specifically adherence to the point 15.11.5. of the standard.

By default hasFeature(int) returns false.

Since:
1.6 Release 6
See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_STRICT_MODE

public static final int FEATURE_STRICT_MODE
Controls whether JS 1.5 'strict mode' is enabled. When the feature is on, Rhino reports more than a dozen different warnings. When the feature is off, these warnings are not generated. FEATURE_STRICT_MODE implies FEATURE_STRICT_VARS and FEATURE_STRICT_EVAL.

By default hasFeature(int) returns false.

Since:
1.6 Release 6
See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_WARNING_AS_ERROR

public static final int FEATURE_WARNING_AS_ERROR
Controls whether a warning should be treated as an error.

Since:
1.6 Release 6
See Also:
Constant Field Values

FEATURE_ENHANCED_JAVA_ACCESS

public static final int FEATURE_ENHANCED_JAVA_ACCESS
Enables enhanced access to Java. Specifically, controls whether private and protected members can be accessed, and whether scripts can catch all Java exceptions.

Note that this feature should only be enabled for trusted scripts.

By default hasFeature(int) returns false.

Since:
1.7 Release 1
See Also:
Constant Field Values

languageVersionProperty

public static final java.lang.String languageVersionProperty

Constant Field Values

errorReporterProperty

public static final java.lang.String errorReporterProperty

Constructor Detail

Context

public Context()
Deprecated. use ContextFactory.enter() or ContextFactory.call(ContextAction) instead.

Create a new Context. Note that the Context must be associated with a thread before it can be used to execute a script.

Method Detail

getCurrentContext

public static Context getCurrentContext()
Get the current Context. The current Context is per-thread; this method looks up the Context associated with the current thread.

Returns:
the Context associated with the current thread, or null if no context is associated with the current thread.
See Also:
ContextFactory.enterContext(), ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)

enter

public static Context enter()
Deprecated. use ContextFactory.enter() or ContextFactory.call(ContextAction) instead as this method relies on usage of a static singleton "global" ContextFactory.

Same as calling ContextFactory.enterContext() on the global ContextFactory instance.

Returns:
a Context associated with the current thread
See Also:
getCurrentContext(), exit(), call(ContextAction)

enter

public static Context enter(Context cx)
Deprecated. use ContextFactory.enterContext(Context) instead as this method relies on usage of a static singleton "global" ContextFactory.

Get a Context associated with the current thread, using the given Context if need be.

The same as enter() except that cx is associated with the current thread and returned if the current thread has no associated context and cx is not associated with any other thread.

Parameters:
cx - a Context to associate with the thread if possible
Returns:
a Context associated with the current thread
See Also:
ContextFactory.enterContext(Context), ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)

exit

public static void exit()
Exit a block of code requiring a Context. Calling exit() will remove the association between the current thread and a Context if the prior call to ContextFactory.enterContext() on this thread newly associated a Context with this thread. Once the current thread no longer has an associated Context, it cannot be used to execute JavaScript until it is again associated with a Context.

See Also:
ContextFactory.enterContext()

call

public static java.lang.Object call(ContextAction action)
Deprecated. use ContextFactory.call(ContextAction) instead as this method relies on usage of a static singleton "global" ContextFactory.

Call ContextAction.run(Context cx) using the Context instance associated with the current thread. If no Context is associated with the thread, then ContextFactory.getGlobal().makeContext() will be called to construct new Context instance. The instance will be temporary associated with the thread during call to ContextAction.run(Context).

Returns:
The result of ContextAction.run(Context).

call

public static java.lang.Object call(ContextFactory factory,
                                    Callable callable,
                                    Scriptable scope,
                                    Scriptable thisObj,
                                    java.lang.Object[] args)
Call Callable.call(Context cx, Scriptable scope, Scriptable thisObj, Object[] args) using the Context instance associated with the current thread. If no Context is associated with the thread, then ContextFactory.makeContext() will be called to construct new Context instance. The instance will be temporary associated with the thread during call to ContextAction.run(Context).

It is allowed but not advisable to use null for factory argument in which case the global static singleton ContextFactory instance will be used to create new context instances.

See Also:
ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)

initStandardObjects

public final ScriptableObject initStandardObjects()
Initialize the standard objects. Creates instances of the standard objects and their constructors (Object, String, Number, Date, etc.), setting up 'scope' to act as a global object as in ECMA 15.1.

This method must be called to initialize a scope before scripts can be evaluated in that scope.

This method does not affect the Context it is called upon.

Returns:
the initialized scope

initStandardObjects

public final Scriptable initStandardObjects(ScriptableObject scope)
Initialize the standard objects. Creates instances of the standard objects and their constructors (Object, String, Number, Date, etc.), setting up 'scope' to act as a global object as in ECMA 15.1.

This method must be called to initialize a scope before scripts can be evaluated in that scope.

This method does not affect the Context it is called upon.

Parameters:
scope - the scope to initialize, or null, in which case a new object will be created to serve as the scope
Returns:
the initialized scope. The method returns the value of the scope argument if it is not null or newly allocated scope object which is an instance ScriptableObject.

initStandardObjects

public ScriptableObject initStandardObjects(ScriptableObject scope,
                                            boolean sealed)
Initialize the standard objects. Creates instances of the standard objects and their constructors (Object, String, Number, Date, etc.), setting up 'scope' to act as a global object as in ECMA 15.1.

This method must be called to initialize a scope before scripts can be evaluated in that scope.

This method does not affect the Context it is called upon.

This form of the method also allows for creating "sealed" standard objects. An object that is sealed cannot have properties added, changed, or removed. This is useful to create a "superglobal" that can be shared among several top-level objects. Note that sealing is not allowed in the current ECMA/ISO language specification, but is likely for the next version.

Parameters:
scope - the scope to initialize, or null, in which case a new object will be created to serve as the scope
sealed - whether or not to create sealed standard objects that cannot be modified.
Returns:
the initialized scope. The method returns the value of the scope argument if it is not null or newly allocated scope object.

Returns:
the new array object.

getElements

public final java.lang.Object[] getElements(Scriptable object)
Get the elements of a JavaScript array.

If the object defines a length property convertible to double number, then the number is converted Uint32 value as defined in Ecma 9.6 and Java array of that size is allocated. The array is initialized with the values obtained by calling get() on object for each value of i in [0,length-1]. If there is not a defined value for a property the Undefined value is used to initialize the corresponding element in the array. The Java array is then returned. If the object doesn't define a length property or it is not a number, empty array is returned.

Parameters:
object - the JavaScript array or array-like object
Returns:
a Java array of objects

If value is an instance of Character, it will be converted to string of length 1 and its JavaScript type will be string.

The rest of values will be wrapped as LiveConnect objects by calling WrapFactory.wrap(Context cx, Scriptable scope, Object obj, Class staticType) as in:

    Context cx = Context.getCurrentContext();
    return cx.getWrapFactory().wrap(cx, scope, value, null);
 

Parameters:

Rethrow the exception wrapping it as the script runtime exception. Unless the exception is instance of EcmaError or EvaluatorException it will be wrapped as WrappedException, a subclass of EvaluatorException. The resulting exception object always contains source name and line number of script that triggered exception.

This method always throws an exception, its return value is provided only for convenience to allow a usage like:

 throw Context.throwAsScriptRuntimeEx(ex);
 
to indicate that code after the method is unreachable.

Throws:
EvaluatorException
EcmaError

isGeneratingDebug

public final boolean isGeneratingDebug()
Tell whether debug information is being generated.

Since:
1.3

setGeneratingDebug

public final void setGeneratingDebug(boolean generatingDebug)
Specify whether or not debug information should be generated.

Setting the generation of debug information on will set the optimization level to zero.

Since:
1.3

isGeneratingSource

public final boolean isGeneratingSource()
Tell whether source information is being generated.

Since:
1.3

setGeneratingSource

public final void setGeneratingSource(boolean generatingSource)
Specify whether or not source information should be generated.

Without source information, evaluating the "toString" method on JavaScript functions produces only "[native code]" for the body of the function. Note that code generated without source is not fully ECMA conformant.

Since:
1.3

getOptimizationLevel

public final int getOptimizationLevel()
Get the current optimization level.

The optimization level is expressed as an integer between -1 and 9.

Since:
1.3

setOptimizationLevel

public final void setOptimizationLevel(int optimizationLevel)
Set the current optimization level.

The optimization level is expected to be an integer between -1 and 9. Any negative values will be interpreted as -1, and any values greater than 9 will be interpreted as 9. An optimization level of -1 indicates that interpretive mode will always be used. Levels 0 through 9 indicate that class files may be generated. Higher optimization levels trade off compile time performance for runtime performance. The optimizer level can't be set greater than -1 if the optimizer package doesn't exist at run time.

Parameters:
optimizationLevel - an integer indicating the level of optimization to perform
Since:
1.3

isValidOptimizationLevel

public static boolean isValidOptimizationLevel(int optimizationLevel)

checkOptimizationLevel

public static void checkOptimizationLevel(int optimizationLevel)

getMaximumInterpreterStackDepth

public final int getMaximumInterpreterStackDepth()
Returns the maximum stack depth (in terms of number of call frames) allowed in a single invocation of interpreter. If the set depth would be exceeded, the interpreter will throw an EvaluatorException in the script. Defaults to Integer.MAX_VALUE. The setting only has effect for interpreted functions (those compiled with optimization level set to -1). As the interpreter doesn't use the Java stack but rather manages its own stack in the heap memory, a runaway recursion in interpreted code would eventually consume all available memory and cause OutOfMemoryError instead of a StackOverflowError limited to only a single thread. This setting helps prevent such situations.

Returns:
The current maximum interpreter stack depth.

setMaximumInterpreterStackDepth

public final void setMaximumInterpreterStackDepth(int max)
Sets the maximum stack depth (in terms of number of call frames) allowed in a single invocation of interpreter. If the set depth would be exceeded, the interpreter will throw an EvaluatorException in the script. Defaults to Integer.MAX_VALUE. The setting only has effect for interpreted functions (those compiled with optimization level set to -1). As the interpreter doesn't use the Java stack but rather manages its own stack in the heap memory, a runaway recursion in interpreted code would eventually consume all available memory and cause OutOfMemoryError instead of a StackOverflowError limited to only a single thread. This setting helps prevent such situations.

Parameters:
max - the new maximum interpreter stack depth
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this context's optimization level is not -1
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the new depth is not at least 1

setSecurityController

public final void setSecurityController(SecurityController controller)
Set the security controller for this context.

SecurityController may only be set if it is currently null and SecurityController.hasGlobal() is false. Otherwise a SecurityException is thrown.

Parameters:

Throws:
java.lang.SecurityException - if there is already a ClassShutter object for this Context

getThreadLocal

public final java.lang.Object getThreadLocal(java.lang.Object key)
Get a value corresponding to a key.

Since the Context is associated with a thread it can be used to maintain values that can be later retrieved using the current thread.

Parameters:
key - the key used to lookup the value
Returns:
a value previously stored using putThreadLocal.

setWrapFactory

public final void setWrapFactory(WrapFactory wrapFactory)
Set a WrapFactory for this Context.

The WrapFactory allows custom object wrapping behavior for Java object manipulated with JavaScript.

Since:
1.5 Release 4

WrapFactory

getWrapFactory

public final WrapFactory getWrapFactory()
Return the current WrapFactory, or null if none is defined.

Since:
1.5 Release 4

WrapFactory

getDebugger

public final org.mozilla.javascript.debug.Debugger getDebugger()
Return the current debugger.

Returns:
the debugger, or null if none is attached.

getDebuggerContextData

public final java.lang.Object getDebuggerContextData()
Return the debugger context data associated with current context.

Returns:
the debugger data, or null if debugger is not attached

setDebugger

public final void setDebugger(org.mozilla.javascript.debug.Debugger debugger,
                              java.lang.Object contextData)
Set the associated debugger.

Parameters:
debugger - the debugger to be used on callbacks from the engine.
contextData - arbitrary object that debugger can use to store per Context data.

getDebuggableView

public static DebuggableScript getDebuggableView(Script script)
Return DebuggableScript instance if any associated with the script. If callable supports DebuggableScript implementation, the method returns it. Otherwise null is returned.


hasFeature

public boolean hasFeature(int featureIndex)
Controls certain aspects of script semantics. Should be overwritten to alter default behavior.

The default implementation calls ContextFactory.hasFeature(Context cx, int featureIndex) that allows to customize Context behavior without introducing Context subclasses. ContextFactory documentation gives an example of hasFeature implementation.

Parameters:
featureIndex - feature index to check
Returns:
true if the featureIndex feature is turned on

getE4xImplementationFactory

public org.mozilla.javascript.xml.XMLLib.Factory getE4xImplementationFactory()
Returns an object which specifies an E4X implementation to use within this Context. Note that the XMLLib.Factory interface should be considered experimental. The default implementation uses the implementation provided by this Context's ContextFactory.

Returns:
An XMLLib.Factory. Should not return null if FEATURE_E4X is enabled. See hasFeature(int).

getInstructionObserverThreshold

public final int getInstructionObserverThreshold()
Get threshold of executed instructions counter that triggers call to observeInstructionCount(). When the threshold is zero, instruction counting is disabled, otherwise each time the run-time executes at least the threshold value of script instructions, observeInstructionCount() will be called.


setInstructionObserverThreshold

public final void setInstructionObserverThreshold(int threshold)
Set threshold of executed instructions counter that triggers call to observeInstructionCount(). When the threshold is zero, instruction counting is disabled, otherwise each time the run-time executes at least the threshold value of script instructions, observeInstructionCount() will be called.

Note that the meaning of "instruction" is not guaranteed to be consistent between compiled and interpretive modes: executing a given script or function in the different modes will result in different instruction counts against the threshold. setGenerateObserverCount(boolean) is called with true if threshold is greater than zero, false otherwise.

Parameters:
threshold - The instruction threshold

setGenerateObserverCount

public void setGenerateObserverCount(boolean generateObserverCount)
Turn on or off generation of code with callbacks to track the count of executed instructions. Currently only affects JVM byte code generation: this slows down the generated code, but code generated without the callbacks will not be counted toward instruction thresholds. Rhino's interpretive mode does instruction counting without inserting callbacks, so there is no requirement to compile code differently.

Parameters:
generateObserverCount - if true, generated code will contain calls to accumulate an estimate of the instructions executed.

observeInstructionCount

protected void observeInstructionCount(int instructionCount)
Allow application to monitor counter of executed script instructions in Context subclasses. Run-time calls this when instruction counting is enabled and the counter reaches limit set by setInstructionObserverThreshold(). The method is useful to observe long running scripts and if necessary to terminate them.

The instruction counting support is available only for interpreted scripts generated when the optimization level is set to -1.

The default implementation calls ContextFactory.observeInstructionCount(Context cx, int instructionCount) that allows to customize Context behavior without introducing Context subclasses.

Parameters:
instructionCount - amount of script instruction executed since last call to observeInstructionCount
Throws:
java.lang.Error - to terminate the script
See Also:
setOptimizationLevel(int)

createClassLoader

public GeneratedClassLoader createClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader parent)
Create class loader for generated classes. The method calls ContextFactory.createClassLoader(ClassLoader) using the result of getFactory().


getApplicationClassLoader

public final java.lang.ClassLoader getApplicationClassLoader()

setApplicationClassLoader

public final void setApplicationClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

isGeneratingDebugChanged

public final boolean isGeneratingDebugChanged()

addActivationName

public void addActivationName(java.lang.String name)
Add a name to the list of names forcing the creation of real activation objects for functions.

Parameters:
name - the name of the object to add to the list

isActivationNeeded

public final boolean isActivationNeeded(java.lang.String name)
Check whether the name is in the list of names of objects forcing the creation of activation objects.

Parameters:
name - the name of the object to test
Returns:
true if an function activation object is needed.

removeActivationName

public void removeActivationName(java.lang.String name)
Remove a name from the list of names forcing the creation of real activation objects for functions.

Parameters:
name - the name of the object to remove from the list
