Passing objects between Nashorn engines

[A. Sundararajan]

Yes, ScriptObjectMirror keeps the underlying ScriptObject and Global 
instance in whose scope that object was created. So long as a 
ScriptObjectMirror is alive, the ScriptObject and associated Global 
instance (and any transitive data) would be alive.
