Thanks for the reply!
I'm not sure I understand why "this" evaluates to the plain JS
context. I was going off the documentation here which seems to suggest
you can use "this" in this way:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsJSNI.html#methods-fields
Or perhaps you just can't use it for $entry type JSNI?
Having said that, I've updated to a non-static method - silly me. I
did actually try that first but only pasted in my last attempt at
getting some working code. I have tried both of the below now with the
same stack trace as a result. Note, there are not actually any spaces
before the .@ in my code I'm just working around Google Groups
mangling it.
private native void initialiseCallbacks() /*-{
var that = this;
$wnd.js_callback =
$entry(that ....@com.mine.playerimpl::callback());
}-*/;
and
private native void initialiseCallbacks(PlayerImpl pl) /*-{
$wnd.js_callback = $entry(pl ....@com.mine.playerimpl::callback());
}-*/;
