Re: Exporting Instance Methods to Hand-Written Javascript

At first glance it seems like:

"PreviewPane::imageSelected(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;))"

takes two arguments, in this case two Strings. The JSNI error seems to indicate that you are not passing the two arguments as per the method signature. I would think that you would end up with something like this:

PreviewPane::imageSelected(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;))(string1, string2);

Best regards,

I have a piece of GWT code that I wanted to invoke from outside handwritten JavaScript. There's an example shown here under "Calling a Java method from Handwritten JavaScript":

https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsJSNI

That example uses a static method; I can make that work, but my first instinct was that i'd rather use an instance, so using the syntax shown under JSNI invocations, I tried:

/* package */ native void exportJavascriptMethods( PreviewPane x ) /*-{
       $wnd.imageSelected =
          $entry(this@ca.cpp.spike.gwtapplet.client.PreviewPane::imageSelected(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;));
  }-*/;

That doesn't work. Eclipse (and the GWT compiler) complain:

"JavaScript parsing: Missing ) after argument list PreviewPane.java"

If I replace 'this' with 'x', same problem. If I take 'this' out and leave it binding to the static method:

/* package */ native void exportJavascriptMethods( PreviewPane x ) /*-{
       $wnd.imageSelected =
          $entry(@ca.cpp.spike.gwtapplet.client.PreviewPane::imageSelected(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;));
  }-*/;

All is well in the world.

So -- is that just not an option, exporting an instance method like that?
