Description
The attached test case shows that a conversion from a JSObject to a Java String needs to be added to the new LiveConnect code for compatibility. The test case runs successfully with the old Java Plug-In but raises a JavaScript error in the new Java Plug-In due to the absence of this implicit conversion.

EVALUATION

Relaxed the type conversion rules in JavaScript-to-Java calls to allow conversion from JSObject to String. The underlying MessagePassingJSObject already had support for conversion to string. Tested in IE and Firefox.
