I know node can make Java calls.

What I want to do is the reverse. I want to make my Java code into a node module.

Is that possible? If so, how? If not, why?

maybe you can use JNI as a bridge

It is possible.

1. You can wrapper the java calls to a separate process, and run it in a subprocess, use stdin/stdout for communication.

2. use JNI, you can implement a native module for nodejs, and call java method in the native module via JNI.
