Hi Ahmed,
I was under the impression that Rhino could be used as a stand-alone JS
engine, and that by running on the JVM, it could seamlessly work with
existing libraries. Is there any good reason that all logic couldn't be
in JavaScript (other than accessing library APIs)?

The usual Rhino usage: your main code is Java, and you embed Rhino to be able
to process JavaScript logic. However, you can implement needed
functions/properties in Java and call them from JavaScript.
In both ways, you have to know how to implement some logic in Java.
Again, we are here if you need help,
Ahmed

Hi Ahmed,
Thanks for the patience. I want to use Rhino to develop web apps with the
benefit of being able to leverage existing Java libraries. What sparked my
interest was an interview with Steve Yegge who was tasked with porting
Rails to JavaScript and Google, and who chose Rhino for the project (I
don't intend to port Rails). I've considered other JS engines, but a large
standard library is essential for web app programming, and Rhino seems to
be the best in that arena.
My understanding is that with Rhino, my code will be JavaScript, but that
I'll have to know enough Java to understand library APIs so I can take
advantage of them from within Rhino.
Thomas
