JsInterop Question

[Benjamin Tillman]

Hey everyone, I posted this question on the GWT group here at the beginning of the month, but since I didn't get a reply I'm just cross-posting here :)

Just a quick question regarding JsInterop: how is it proposed to manage javascript functions that can potentially take more than one type of parameter? For example, take the websocket interface:

@JsType(prototype = "WebSocket")
public interface WebSocket extends EventTarget {

  ... blah blah.

  void send(String data);
  // void send(Blob data); <-- JsInterop forbids this

}

I suppose that the following is possible

@JsType(prototype = "WebSocket")
public interface WebSocket extends EventTarget {

  void send(Object data);

}

but ... this doesn't seem ideal from a Java perspective :)

Regards,

Ben.

Any chance of reply? If it's a bad question I'm happy to hear that as well, just so I know I'm thinking about this the wrong way.

Regards,

Ben.

You need to use normal JavaScriptObject + JSNI for now for these cases.

That's fine, I was just trying to pre-empt Elemental 2.0 a bit and got the impression from the compiler complaint and some of the design docs linked here that examples like the above wouldn't be possible.
