Alfresco uses Mozzila Rhino that provides the Java Script engine that exposes Java Objects through Java Script.

In addition there's an adapter layer that takes some of the Java APIs and simplifies and converts the Java API into something suitable for Java Script. The primary example of this is the ScriptNode which among other things exposes properties in a java script freindly manner.

Thanks very much ,I just see a Rhino example:


$ cat test.js
java.lang.System.out.println("hi, mom!");
$ java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.jsc.Main test.js
$ ls *.class
test.class
$ java test
hi, mom!
$ java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.jsc.Main -extends java.applet.Applet
    -implements java.lang.Runnable NervousText.js
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It seems that are java code inside test.js, it seems we just need to javac test.js(rename to .java)?
Where can I see more deeply examples or references ?
Thanks!
