I took a look at this document:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/WebKit/ ObjC_classic/Protocols/WebScripting.html

but I'm not quite sure how to apply the tools it provides. For instance, I have a hunch that under "Invoking Methods" - invokeDefaultMethodWithArguments: might help me out here, but I'm not sure what to do. I can't find /any/ example documentation on this at all. I'm quite surprised that not many developers have done work in this area.

In the process of porting a piece of software from Windows to Mac. The software uses Javascript to display UI elements, and it uses window.external to access internal COM C++ functions.

Would like to port the application without having to rewrite the Javascript(we will likely port the COM functionality).

Is this possible without a rewrite of the Javascript, perhaps using WebKIt? The Javascript is full of COM references. Upon a cursory search of the archives I read that window.external is not directly usable with WebKit a couple of years ago. Has this changed?

Any suggestions on how to approach this?


It has changed for recent versions of WebKit (10.3.9+). Look at the WebScripting protocol and the WebScriptObject class.
