Context.enter() for every execution

[chrislewis]

Hello all,

I'm new to rhino and have started implementing it as the scripting
core for a Java Swing application. I'm curious about interaction with
the engine, specifically how I should invoke script execution.
Currently i'm using it to bind menu clicks to JS calls, to provide a
flexible ui. Each click results in a Context.enter() call, execution,
and Context.exit(). Note that I only call initStandardObjects() once -
during application initialization - since this is an expensive call.
But what about Context.enter()? Is it expensive? Or is calling it
frequently inconsequential?

Thanks!

You're doing it correctly. Yes, you need to do
Context.enter()/Context.exit(), but they're not really expensive.
Initializing the standard objects once is okay provided you reuse that
scope, which you can do, just take care to not write scripts that tamper
with standard objects :-)

Attila.
