Customize boolean conversion

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi,

in HtmlUnit I need to simulate Firefox results for following
(document.all being a custom host object):

document.all ? true : false // -> false
Boolean(document.all) // -> true

It seems to me that I can't do that with current Rhino state: Rhino
handles boolean conversion the same way in both above cases, and unless
language version is set < 1.3, getDefaultValue is not called on the object.

Is this correct? Is there an other way to handle this?

Cheers,
Marc.

I've created an issue with attached patch to implement new feature
Context.FEATURE_NON_ECMA_TO_BOOLEAN:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412247

Can a Rhino committer look at it? This would allow HtmlUnit (as well as
other projects using Rhino to simulate a browser) to correctly handle
document.all boolean conversion.

Cheers,
Marc.

I can't promise I'll be able to look at it short term. There's just
too much on my plate on my paid job, and lately I'm scarcely finding
time for anything unrelated.

I'll take a look when I get a chance, perhaps on my plane flight
Thursday.
