Equivalent of self = [super init]

Hi,

I'm writing a NSWindowController subclass and I was wondering what
would be the best way of expressing the above idiom within JSCocoa.
Would this = this.Super(arguments); work?

Almost, as you can't assign to this in Javascript. Use another variable :

class MyWindowController < NSWindowController
{
- (id)init
{
var obj = this.Super(arguments)
obj.myValue = ...
obj.myMethod(..., ...)
return obj
}
}

Thanks! One more question:

How do I reference the superclass in order to invoke arbitrary method
on it, something like

...
-(id)foo {
this.super.bar(arguments);
}

You can't, I'll have to add it.

You can now do this via the ObjJ syntax :

- (id)foo {
[super someMethodWithArgument1:… andArgument2:…]
}
