But that runs on Rhino, so I'll still need to find an answer to my
original question. I have Java. I downloaded Rhino. I've been unable to
find a single source that says, "OK, obviously part of our audience
hasn't touched Java and wants to give JavaScript a spin outside of the
browser, so here's how you guys can get up and running." I'm not looking
for hands-on help here, just a link that can answer this question.

Hi Ahmed,
I was under the impression that Rhino could be used as a stand-alone JS
engine, and that by running on the JVM, it could seamlessly work with
existing libraries. Is there any good reason that all logic couldn't be
in JavaScript (other than accessing library APIs)?

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.
Again, we are here if you need help,
Ahmed

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.
Thomas
