How create Suite Definition for an AppleScript handler?


  • Subject: How create Suite Definition for an AppleScript handler?

I have an AppleScript Studio application, which has a handler (that I have written) and which I want to make accessible from outside of the application - i.e I want to make the app scriptable, with the sole command being a call to that handler.

The Devolopment Documentation "Working With Suite Definitions and Suite Terminologies" says about the relevant keys in the definition:

"each scriptable class must be the name of an Objective-C or Java Cocoa class"

However, my handler is an AppleScript handler, not some C class. How do I provide my handler in a Suite Definition so that my application can become scriptable, i.e so that the handler can be called from outside of the application?

I have already searched the archives, and that has started to get me an unpleasant suspicion that it's not even possible to do what I want! Chris Nebel said in April 2002 "Unfortunately, defining real object model
scriptability in AppleScript is not currently possible." I sincerely hope that my suspicion is completely wrong as of 2003... or .....?


PS: I know this question should be sent to the AppleScript Studio list, and I did that yesterday! But I got no response at all, so I am hoping for better luck here... or is the question really unclear?... no, can't be... I think it's a pretty straightforward and clear question...


Regards,
