Hi all, I've researched this a bit more, and I see now that Continuations are a bit trickier to use than I had originally realized. It seems that in order to use continuations, one must run a script in interpreted mode, rather than compiled mode. So this line works:
jbea...@ubuntu:~$ rhino -opt -1 -f test.js While this line fails: jbea...@ubuntu:~$ rhino -opt 0 -f test.js js: Direct call is not supported I'm now no longer sure if what I'm trying to do can be achieved. I want to create a servlet, but do so in pure Rhino, so without any Java "host" code that would create Rhino in a scripting context. In order to achieve this, I've created a script with top-level servlet methods (doPost, doGet, etc.), and used rhino's jsc tool with the options "-extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet". With this approach, I've successfully compiled class files that I've been able to deploy onto Tomcat. I've been very happy with how well this has worked so far. Continuations are obviously useful in the context of web programming, but I'm not sure if I can leverage them using the above approach. I think I need to create class files in order to deploy my rhino code to Tomcat, however, it does not appear as thought I can use jsc to create class files if that code includes Continuations. Although, strangely, jsc can take an -opt argument of -1, implying that it can "compile class files in interpreted mode". If someone could please let me know whether it is possible to use jsc to create class files from Rhino scripts that use Continuations, I'd really appreciate it. If I cannot use jsc to create class files from Rhino scripts that use Continuations, then it seems I may need to create a Java class which extends HttpServlet to act as the host, and then delegate to a scripting context, running in interpreted mode, which uses Continuations. I think this programming model is much more confusing than just compiling a Rhino script, but it may be that this is the only way to leverage Rhino's continuations for web programming when targeting servlets. If anyone could offer any guidance on this, I'd appreciate it.
