You can put a little JavaScript on the page which contains a function that you can call... for example:
define a JsonHandler: object PointHandler extends JsonHandler { def apply(in: Any): JsCmd = in match { case JsonCmd("setPoint", _, yourData, _) => /// do something with yourData Noop } } Now, build a stable function to send to the browser: Script(Function("sendPointToServer", "point", PointHandler.call("setPoint", JsVal("point")))) You'll have a JavaScript function, sendPointToServer that you cal with the point and the rest is automatic.
