jsp command run permission.

[Johnny Park]

I am teaching my students scriptcraft.

What I want to do is to make the JavaScript code that students create available only to the student.

For example,

username1.js

command ('stoneblock1', function (parameters, player) {

var theDrone = new Drone (player);

theDrone.up ();

theDrone.chkpt ('start');

theDrone.box ('1', 3,1,2);

});

username2.js

command ('stoneblock2', function (parameters, player) {

var theDrone = new Drone (player);

theDrone.up ();

theDrone.chkpt ('start');

theDrone.box ('1', 3,1,2);

});

Let's say that the files created by each student are stored in the plugins folder.

I want username1.js to be able to run only username1 students.

In other words, username1 student can not run username2.js file.

So student 1 will be able to run / jsp stoneblock1, but stoneblock2 will not run due to permission issues.

Please answer me. Thank you.

Not sure exactly how this would work but could be worth exploring:
- put the code in username1/stoneblock.js username2/stoneblock.js
- find the code which loads/reloads the .js files in the plugin directory and duplicate it to read plugin/*/*.js as well and store the function names under username
- find the run / jsp code and duplicate modify it to e.g. ujsp which only looks for the functions under the callers username

cheers,
Woody

Expose a function that looks up the user's username and then requires
"<username>.js" on their behalf, but don't expose require() itself.
