Barry, in this context and based on the notion in your original message, Helma [1] might be an interesting candidate for your needs. It's a server-side Javascript web application framework using Rhino, so you can use the same scripting language on both the client-side and server-side, plus use any Java classes and libraries on the backend. Browsing through the introductions [2], you'll see that Helma's sweet spot is a mix between encouraging a clean MVC code structure and allowing the flexibility and freedom to break away from that where desired at the same time.
