Chris,
You have a reference to a java.lang.String. Try wrapping it in a
javascript string:
Rhino 1.7 release 1 2008 10 20
js> s = new java.lang.String("Hi Mom")
Hi Mom
js> s.replace(/m/gi,'b')
js: "<stdin>", line 3: The choice of Java constructor replace matching
JavaScript argument types (function,string) is ambiguous; candidate
constructors are:
class java.lang.String replace(char,char)
class java.lang.String replace
(java.lang.CharSequence,java.lang.CharSequence)
at <stdin>:3
js> new String(s).replace(/m/gi,'b')
Hi bob
js>
