Looking forward to reading it all! :) More comments below...

Got it. I assume any Java objects can be instantiated this way. Where
is the code that defines "Packages" however? Is it part of Rhino, or is
it being created elsewhere? It seems like an odd automatic process...

Found it already.. I seem to be on the right track. It's funny, I'll post
something to a list, and then two minutes later I'll track down where all
the stuff was... oh well :)
I've tracked down JSCocoon and JSLog. I've already found how Rhino binds
the specially-named functions in the Java class to methods of the JS
objects. I now see the a bunch of methods of cocoon such as:
cocoon.getEnvironment()
cocoon.getRequest()
cocoon.getSession()
Along with load(), createSession(), etc. I'm also able to follow along
with the prefs.js sample. I do have a few questions about a couple lines
I've found in prefs.js though:
login = cocoon.request.getParameter("login");
and
login = cocoon.request.get("login");
a) What's the difference between the two?
b) Where is cocoon.request being created?

Bingo. I see sendPage(), etc. Thanks for the help & pointers!
