How to properly implement JSObject to provide conversion of Gson JsonElement objects?

[Jesse Schulman]

If you haven't got this working yet, one possible solution is to return
anonymous inner AbstractJSObject that returns true for isFunction calls:

   public Object getMember(String name) {
      if ("map".equals(name)) {
         return new AbstractJSObject() {
            @Override
            public Object call(Object thiz, Object... args) {
               // delegate to your JsonArray.map method from this
annonymous inner class
               // in your example nashorn should pass you a single instance
of ScriptObjectMirror for args that returns true for isFunction() call
            }

            @Override
            public boolean isFunction() {
                  return true;
            }
         };
      }

      return null;
   }


Hope that helps!
