Thank you, yes that is very similar to the approach I went down.
Ultimately I hit another roadblock that forced me to approach the entire
issue differently. The JS library I am interacting with uses Object.keys()
and currently, Nashorn doesn't support Object.keys() calls with custom
JSObjects. I filed an RFE for that, but due to the issue, I'm having to
avoid using JSObject entirely.
Thanks again for your reply.
