Docs/examples for JSAdapter

[Rick Bullotta]

Can't do that.  There are a number of operations that occur inside of our wrappers that require pure Java.

Rick, have you considered writing a wrapper library in pure JavaScript over the harsher Java-written API? Users won't even have to know that Java is being called behind the scenes.

It's much more natural to write such things in JavaScript, and it would also be more portable to other JS engines (Rhino). I've done this quite a bit!
