JSAdapter is java.lang.reflect.Proxy equivalent for JavaScript. JSAdapter calls specially named JavaScript methods on an adaptee object when property access is attempted on it. Example: var y = { __get__ : function (name) { ... } __has__ : function (name) { ... } __put__ : function (name, value) {...} __delete__ : function (name) { ... } __getIds__ : function () { ... } }; var x = new JSAdapter(y); x.i; // calls y.__get__ i in x; // calls y.__has__ x.p = 10; // calls y.__put__ delete x.p; // calls y.__delete__ for (i in x) { print(i); } // calls y.__getIds__ If a special JavaScript method is not found in the adaptee, then JSAdapter forwards the property access to the adaptee itself. JavaScript caller of adapter object is isolated from the fact that the property access/mutation/deletion are really calls to JavaScript methods on adaptee. Use cases include 'smart' properties, property access tracing/debugging, encaptulation with easy client access - in short JavaScript becomes more "Self" like. Note that Rhino already supports special properties like __proto__ (to set, get prototype), __parent__ (to set, get parent scope). We follow the same double underscore nameing convention here. Similarly the name JSAdapter is derived from JavaAdapter -- which is a facility to extend, implement Java classes/interfaces by JavaScript.
