Adding initialize script include is not callable from client

[thisisauniqueus]

Hi

I have a script include like

var Util = Class.create();

Util.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

ExampleFunc: function(curr) {

  }

.....

i wanted to call it from server side as well as from client so initialized it like

var Util = Class.create();

Util.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

initialize: function() {   },

ExampleFunc: function(curr) {

  }

.....

but when i add initialize: function() {   },   i am unable to call the function from the client script and if i remove it its not callable form server

pl help!

Regards

Hi,

If you want to make a script "Client callable", you can't have "initialize" function. This syntax works both using server and client.

var Util = Class.create();

Util.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

ExampleFunc: function(curr) {

  },

});

something is telling me that its not a good idea i tend to avoid global sort of inclusions your comments?

A workaround is to add a custom method, for example _init().

You can then call it after your script include. Example:

var TestCL = Class.create();
TestCL.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

   _init: function() {
   this.test = "initialized value";
   },

   run: function() {
   return this.test;
   },

       type: 'TestCL'
});


TestCL.prototype._init();

Considering the new apps are mostly "scoped applications",   there are chances that a new script include can be created with same name under different scope. So, to avoid ambiguity, its advisable to use "global".
