The usual Rhino usage: your main code is Java, and you embed Rhino to be able to process JavaScript logic. However, you can implement needed functions/properties in Java and call them from JavaScript. In both ways, you have to know how to implement some logic in Java.

Hi Ahmed, Thanks for the patience. I want to use Rhino to develop web apps with the benefit of being able to leverage existing Java libraries. What sparked my interest was an interview with Steve Yegge who was tasked with porting Rails to JavaScript and Google, and who chose Rhino for the project (I don't intend to port Rails). I've considered other JS engines, but a large standard library is essential for web app programming, and Rhino seems to be the best in that arena. My understanding is that with Rhino, my code will be JavaScript, but that I'll have to know enough Java to understand library APIs so I can take advantage of them from within Rhino.
