Running a Javascript Application from Java

[Max]

Hi,

Sorry if my question sounds silly or obvious. Before I dive into it,
I would like to find out if Narwhal works for me. My scenario is
simple. I wan to use Java scripting (http://java.sun.com/developer/
technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/scripting/) to run applications built
using Narwhal.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Max.

Do you want a server back end using javascript or do you want a
desktop application?

Well, not sure what difference it would make but I was looking at
embedding it within an OSGI container. There is so little input that
I'm quite desperate.

I apologize for not responding. I've been working in other areas so
this isn't on the top of my mind. However, I did do several
brain-dumps on how Narwhal works that might be of use to you.

There's a section here on "Bootstrapping Narwhal", which describes how
Narwhal gets going. If you're running Narwhal in an OSGI container,
you'll have to replace all of the pieces up to the point where
narwhal.js gets executed. You could probably get some use out of the
Rhino engine's bootstrap.js, but it will likely have to be adapted to
receive information from alternate sources (it uses environment
variables to receive configuration from the shell scripts).

I got bootstrapping to work but it took a little trial and error. I
would check out
https://github.com/kriskowal/jack-servlet/blob/master/src/org/jackjs/JackServlet.java
It is a good template.
