js/src/xpconnect/idl/nsIXPConnect.idlNot scriptable Provides the XPConnect service. Inherits from: nsISupports Last changed in Gecko 2.0 (Firefox 4 / Thunderbird 3.3 / SeaMonkey 2.1)

To access the XPConnect service, use code like this:

wrapJS()

wrapJS() will yield a new or previously existing xpcom interface pointer to represent the JSObject passed in.

This method now correctly deals with cases where the passed in JSObject already has an associated xpcom interface for the cases: 1) The JSObject has already been wrapped as an nsIXPConnectWrappedJS. 2) The JSObject is in fact an nsIXPConnectWrappedNative and thus already has an underlying xpcom object. 3) The JSObject is of a jsclass which supports getting the nsISupports from the JSObject directly. This is used for idlc style objects (e.g., DOM objects).

It *might* be possible to QueryInterface the resulting interface pointer to nsIXPConnectWrappedJS.

Returns: success: NS_OK failure: NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS NS_ERROR_FAILURE.

void wrapJS(
  in JSContextPtr aJSContext,
  in JSObjectPtr aJSObj,
  in nsIIDRef aIID,

wrapJSAggregatedToNative()

wrapJSAggregatedToNative() is just like wrapJS() except it is used in cases where the JSObject is also aggregated to some native xpcom Object. At present XBL is the only system that might want to do this.

XXX write more!

Returns: success: NS_OK failure: NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS NS_ERROR_FAILURE.

void wrapJSAggregatedToNative(
  in nsISupports aOuter,
  in JSContextPtr aJSContext,
  in JSObjectPtr aJSObj,

Missing Description

wrapNative()

wrapNative() will create a new JSObject or return an existing one.

The JSObject is returned inside a refcounted nsIXPConnectJSObjectHolder. As long as this holder is held the JSObject will be protected from collection by JavaScript's garbage collector. It is a good idea to transfer the JSObject to some equally protected place before releasing the holder (i.e., use JS_SetProperty to make this object a property of some other JSObject).

This method now correctly deals with cases where the passed in xpcom object already has an associated JSObject for the cases: 1) The xpcom object has already been wrapped for use in the same scope as an nsIXPConnectWrappedNative. 2) The xpcom object is in fact an nsIXPConnectWrappedJS and thus already has an underlying JSObject. 3) The xpcom object implements nsIScriptObjectOwner; i.e., is an idlc style DOM object for which we can call GetScriptObject to get the JSObject it uses to represent itself into JavaScript.

It *might* be possible to QueryInterface the nsIXPConnectJSObjectHolder returned by the method into an nsIXPConnectWrappedNative or an nsIXPConnectWrappedJS.

This method will never wrap the JSObject involved in an XPCNativeWrapper before returning.

Returns: success: NS_OK failure: NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_NATIVE NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_GET_JSOBJECT_OF_DOM_OBJECT NS_ERROR_FAILURE.

nsIXPConnectJSObjectHolder wrapNative(
  in JSContextPtr aJSContext,
  in JSObjectPtr aScope,
  in nsISupports aCOMObj,
  in nsIIDRef aIID
);

wrapNativeToJSVal()

Same as wrapNative(), but also returns the JSObject in aVal. C++ callers can pass in null for the aHolder argument, but in that case they must ensure that aVal is rooted. aIID may be null, it means the same as passing in &NS_GET_IID(nsISupports) but when passing in null certain shortcuts can be taken because we know without comparing IIDs that the caller is asking for an nsISupports wrapper. If aAllowWrapper, then the returned value will be wrapped in the proper type of security wrapper on top of the XPCWrappedNative (if needed). This method doesn't push aJSContext on the context stack, so the caller is required to push it if the top of the context stack is not equal to aJSContext.

void wrapNativeToJSVal(
  in JSContextPtr aJSContext,
  in JSObjectPtr aScope,
  in nsISupports aCOMObj,
  in nsWrapperCachePtr aCache,
  in nsIIDPtr aIID,
  in boolean aAllowWrapper,
  out jsval aVal,
  out nsIXPConnectJSObjectHolder aHolder
);
