Q: When I am scripting my Java application, I
find it inconvenient to refer to objects as "object 1 of Frame 1". Is there any way to assign formal names to objects?
A: Yes. If you call java.awt.Component.setName() from your object in your Java source code, you can assign a more user-friendly name than the identifier generated by AppleScript
for Java
public class
Salad extends Component
{
public Salad()
{
...
this.setName( "Green Salad" );
...
}
};

In this example, you would be able to communicate with your object in
AppleScript by referring to it as Salad "Green
Salad". This makes your "Green Salad" easier to distinguish from your "Caesar Salad" than would be possible if you used the default naming nomenclature, Salad 1, Salad 2, etc.
