Thanks karim! Firebug is a great tool.

I have learned from it that my method is accessible from the html
where I am calling it from and the variable that I want included in
the call is being included, however there is still a problem.

According to firebug it looks like everything should be working fine,
but my java method is still not actually being executed.  To me this
indicates a problem with the path provided by the exportMethod()
perhaps, but I have checked this many times and it seems to be
correct.

My methods are not static.  I would prefer to leave them that way, but
I could possibly change them (the java method I need to call is
dependent on many other methods and variables that I would also need
to make static in order to use).  I feel like this should work
regardless of whether or not the methods are static, but if someone
else can confirm what Paul said about the methods having to be static
I can try that.

Thanks everyone.
