The ScriptEngine.eval method already is defined to return an Object.

The problem with calling a method (or function) is that there will probably not be a script file to be "compiled" and a method called on it but rather some already existing functions or objects in the ScriptEngine scope on which we call a function or method.... Probably we need to enter the arena of direct ScriptEngine use here ?? I am not in favor of defining special hacks into e.g. the SlingBindings object to support this. Regards Felix
