Daniel, the console in the webadmin shows you that "g" is bound to the Neo4j Server graph instance, and automatically injected for you, together with the "out" variable to direct possible output from your script to.
REST is right now the best way to interact with the server. Alas, there is the Neo4j Shell (not Gremlin, but you can execute Cypher remotely) that communicates with RMI instead, see http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/snapshot/shell.html "g = new Neo4jGraph('/tmp/neo4j')" is what you would do from Java or an empty Groovy shell to get hold of a new Neo4j graph database instance. In the Neo4j server case that is already done for you. Does that help?
