Converting a Javascript array to a Java array



I'm trying to convert a Javascript array in Java to a Java array. I tested this example here, but the type "NativeArray" was not recognized: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1433489/975097





How can I get the NativeArray type to be recognized?

  1. I would recommend Doug Crockfords JSON-java library. This allows you to convert json to native JAVA objects.

  2. Per this answer it looks like your best bet is to write a JavaScript converter function which transforms the native JavaScript array into a Java array using Rhino's Java binding functionality. Note that you'll have to take some care to use the correct type when converting the individual elements.

  3. I would simply use json-lib and parse the array that way.
    for example see How to parse a JSON and turn its values into an Array?

  4. Rhino offers this:
    http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/tutorial.html#usingJSObjs

    Also Scriptable interface offers get() and set() so you can easily enumerate the properties of an object and add it to an array:

    Scriptable arr = (Scriptable) result;
    Object [] array = new Object[arr.getIds().length];
    for (Object o : arr.getIds()) {
    int index = (Integer) o;
    array[index] = arr.get(index, null);
    }


    Same thing but not using NativeArray since that appears to be a Rhino specific thing. You could easily drop a breakpoint and see what type of object you were given then downcast to that. It's some sort of JS Array implementation that's pretty close to NativeArray.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
