    public class Delegator

extends java.lang.Object
implements Function

This is a helper class for implementing wrappers around Scriptable objects. It implements the Function interface and delegates all invocations to a delegee Scriptable object. The normal use of this class involves creating a sub-class and overriding one or more of the methods. A useful application is the implementation of interceptors, pre/post conditions, debugging.

### getClassName

    public java.lang.String getClassName()

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Get the name of the set of objects implemented by this Java class. This corresponds to the [[Class]] operation in ECMA and is used by Object.prototype.toString() in ECMA.

  See ECMA 8.6.2 and 15.2.4.2.

  Specified by:
    `getClassName` in interface `Scriptable`
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.getClassName()`

### get

    public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String name,
                                Scriptable start)

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Get a named property from the object. Looks property up in this object and returns the associated value if found. Returns NOT_FOUND if not found. Note that this method is not expected to traverse the prototype chain. This is different from the ECMA [[Get]] operation. Depending on the property selector, the runtime will call this method or the form of `get` that takes an integer:

  JavaScript code | Java code
  --- | ---
  a.b | a.get("b", a)
  a["foo"] | a.get("foo", a)
  a[3] | a.get(3, a)
  a["3"] | a.get(3, a)
  a[3.0] | a.get(3, a)
  a["3.0"] | a.get("3.0", a)
  a[1.1] | a.get("1.1", a)
  a[-4] | a.get(-4, a)

  The values that may be returned are limited to the following:

  - java.lang.Boolean objects
  - java.lang.String objects
  - java.lang.Number objects
  - org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable objects
  - null
  - The value returned by Context.getUndefinedValue()
  - NOT_FOUND

  Specified by:
    `get` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the property
    `start` - the object in which the lookup began
  Returns:
    the value of the property (may be null), or NOT_FOUND
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.get(String, Scriptable)`

### get

    public java.lang.Object get(int index,
                                Scriptable start)

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Get a property from the object selected by an integral index. Identical to `get(String, Scriptable)` except that an integral index is used to select the property.

  Specified by:
    `get` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `index` - the numeric index for the property
    `start` - the object in which the lookup began
  Returns:
    the value of the property (may be null), or NOT_FOUND
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.get(int, Scriptable)`

### has

    public boolean has(java.lang.String name,
                       Scriptable start)

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Indicates whether or not a named property is defined in an object. Does not traverse the prototype chain.

  The property is specified by a String name as defined for the `get` method.

  Specified by:
    `has` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the property
    `start` - the object in which the lookup began
  Returns:
    true if and only if the named property is found in the object
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.has(String, Scriptable)`

### has

    public boolean has(int index,
                       Scriptable start)

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Indicates whether or not an indexed property is defined in an object. Does not traverse the prototype chain.

  The property is specified by an integral index as defined for the `get` method.

  Specified by:
    `has` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `index` - the numeric index for the property
    `start` - the object in which the lookup began
  Returns:
    true if and only if the indexed property is found in the object
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.has(int, Scriptable)`

### put

    public void put(java.lang.String name,
                    Scriptable start,
                    java.lang.Object value)

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Sets a named property in this object.

  The property is specified by a string name as defined for `get`.

  The possible values that may be passed in are as defined for `get`. A class that implements this method may choose to ignore calls to set certain properties, in which case those properties are effectively read-only.

  For properties defined in a prototype chain, use `putProperty` in ScriptableObject.

  Note that if a property a is defined in the prototype p of an object o, then evaluating `o.a = 23` will cause `set` to be called on the prototype p with o as the start parameter. To preserve JavaScript semantics, it is the Scriptable object's responsibility to modify o.

  This design allows properties to be defined in prototypes and implemented in terms of getters and setters of Java values without consuming slots in each instance.

  The values that may be set are limited to the following:

  - java.lang.Boolean objects
  - java.lang.String objects
  - java.lang.Number objects
  - org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable objects
  - null
  - The value returned by Context.getUndefinedValue()

  Arbitrary Java objects may be wrapped in a Scriptable by first calling `Context.toObject`. This allows the property of a JavaScript object to contain an arbitrary Java object as a value.

  Note that `has` will be called by the runtime first before `set` is called to determine in which object the property is defined. Note that this method is not expected to traverse the prototype chain, which is different from the ECMA [[Put]] operation.

  Specified by:
    `put` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the property
    `start` - the object whose property is being set
    `value` - value to set the property to
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.put(String, Scriptable, Object)`

### put

    public void put(int index,
                    Scriptable start,
                    java.lang.Object value)

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Sets an indexed property in this object.

  The property is specified by an integral index as defined for `get`.

  Identical to `put(String, Scriptable, Object)` except that an integral index is used to select the property.

  Specified by:
    `put` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `index` - the numeric index for the property
    `start` - the object whose property is being set
    `value` - value to set the property to
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.put(int, Scriptable, Object)`

### delete

    public void delete(java.lang.String name)

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Removes a property from this object. This operation corresponds to the ECMA [[Delete]] except that the no result is returned. The runtime will guarantee that this method is called only if the property exists. After this method is called, the runtime will call Scriptable.has to see if the property has been removed in order to determine the boolean result of the delete operator as defined by ECMA 11.4.1.

  A property can be made permanent by ignoring calls to remove it.

  The property is specified by a String name as defined for `get`.

  To delete properties defined in a prototype chain, see deleteProperty in ScriptableObject.

  Specified by:
    `delete` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the identifier for the property
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.delete(String)`

### delete

    public void delete(int index)

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Removes a property from this object. The property is specified by an integral index as defined for `get`.

  To delete properties defined in a prototype chain, see deleteProperty in ScriptableObject. Identical to `delete(String)` except that an integral index is used to select the property.

  Specified by:
    `delete` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `index` - the numeric index for the property
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.delete(int)`

  Specified by:
    `setPrototype` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `prototype` - the prototype to set
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.setPrototype(org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable)`

### getParentScope

    public Scriptable getParentScope()

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Get the parent scope of the object.

  Specified by:
    `getParentScope` in interface `Scriptable`
  Returns:
    the parent scope

### getIds

    public java.lang.Object[] getIds()

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  Get an array of property ids. Not all property ids need be returned. Those properties whose ids are not returned are considered non-enumerable.

  Specified by:
    `getIds` in interface `Scriptable`
  Returns:
    an array of Objects. Each entry in the array is either a java.lang.String or a java.lang.Number
  See Also:
    `Scriptable.getIds()`

### getDefaultValue

    public java.lang.Object getDefaultValue(java.lang.Class<?> hint)

  Note that this method does not get forwarded to the delegee if the `hint` parameter is null, `ScriptRuntime.ScriptableClass` or `ScriptRuntime.FunctionClass`. Instead the object itself is returned.

  Specified by:
    `getDefaultValue` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `hint` - the type hint

### hasInstance

    public boolean hasInstance(Scriptable instance)

  Description copied from interface: `Scriptable`
  The instanceof operator.

  The JavaScript code "lhs instanceof rhs" causes rhs.hasInstance(lhs) to be called.

  The return value is implementation dependent so that embedded host objects can return an appropriate value. See the JS 1.3 language documentation for more detail.

  This operator corresponds to the proposed EMCA [[HasInstance]] operator.

  Specified by:
    `hasInstance` in interface `Scriptable`
  Parameters:
    `instance` - The value that appeared on the LHS of the instanceof operator

### call

    public java.lang.Object call(Context cx,
                                 Scriptable scope,
                                 Scriptable thisObj,
                                 java.lang.Object[] args)

  Description copied from interface: `Function`
  Call the function. Note that the array of arguments is not guaranteed to have length greater than 0.

  Specified by:
    `call` in interface `Callable`
  Specified by:
    `call` in interface `Function`
  Parameters:
    `cx` - the current Context for this thread
    `scope` - the scope to execute the function relative to. This is set to the value returned by getParentScope() except when the function is called from a closure.
    `thisObj` - the JavaScript `this` object
    `args` - the array of arguments
  Returns:
    the result of the call
  See Also:
    `Function.call(org.mozilla.javascript.Context, org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable, org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable, java.lang.Object[])`

### construct

    public Scriptable construct(Context cx,
                                Scriptable scope,
                                java.lang.Object[] args)

  Note that if the `delegee` is `null`, this method creates a new instance of the Delegator itself rathert than forwarding the call to the `delegee`. This permits the use of Delegator prototypes.

  Specified by:
    `construct` in interface `Function`
  Parameters:
    `cx` - the current Context for this thread
    `scope` - an enclosing scope of the caller except when the function is called from a closure.
    `args` - the array of arguments
  Returns:
    the allocated object
