Hybrid Apps - C/C++ <-> Javascript supported in Tizen?

Hello -

Does anyone if Hybid applications (Web and Native) are truly supported in Tizen.  In this article posted to the Tizen website, the author Raghu Kona implies that it is supported:

https://developer.tizen.org/documentation/application-fundamentals-developer-guide

but the rest of the arcticle seems to go on to explain native application development only.  Another posting on the Tizen mailing list seems to imply that there is none and never will be one due to security implications:

https://lists.tizen.org/pipermail/general/2012-June/000697.html

We have a lot of legacy Javascript code that we don't want to re-write, but we need a richer environment (i.e. native environment) that will provide us a rich assortment of critical system event notifications, registered callbacks, and other mechanisms that the app-core provides and we were hoping to create a hybrid app to achieve this goal.

Thanks,

Ben

https://developer.tizen.org/downloads/sdk/2.0-release-notes has several features listed that support Hybrid Apps. There's a section noted that talks about the Tizen::Web ... Hybrid application programming This feature provides: JavaScript code evaluation for C++ to JavaScript binding Event handler bridge for JavaScript to C++ binding and under the tools section for the IDE the following features are mentioned. "Building, running, and debugging" -Support for hybrid application packaging The original pipermail message that you refer to was written before the Native Tools were added. There's a couple of other features related to hybrid apps in the release notes. I've not had a chance to find these features in the IDE yet (8-)... Hope this helps.

Thanks Stewart - great info :-) They must not have updated their website document for 2.0 yet because i don't see any details about this bridge you speak of. I did see some additional foils from a Tizen presentation about it, so i guess it means its times to dive into the code .... Yeeeehhaaaaawwwww
