object obviously depend on the type of Java object it represents. You
can use the for/in
loop to enumerate the
properties of any given JavaObject.
Description
The JavaObject object is a JavaScript representation of a Java object. The properties of a JavaObject object represent the public instance fields and public instance methods defined for the Java object. (The class or static fields and methods of the object are represented by the JavaClass object.)
The JavaObject object implements the LiveConnect functionality that allows JavaScript programs to read and write the public instance fields of a Java object using normal JavaScript syntax. It also provides the functionality that allows JavaScript to invoke the methods of a Java object. Data conversion between JavaScript and Java representations is handled automatically by LiveConnect. See Chapter 22 for full details.

Bear in mind that Java is a typed language. This means that each of the fields of an object has a specific data ...
