Look at the beanshell support, also in the sandbox. This creates an
interface from the bean properties, along with an introduction to set the
properties. Your introduction could use whatever API to "implement" the
setters.

Good to meet you at JAOO!

I am trying to do the same for Javascript (using the Mozilla Rhino
interpreter) and I have been able to load a script and instantiate a
prototype object (sort of like a class) defined in it. Now I'm trying to set
its properties via Spring, but I found a problem in that the Javascript
object is seen from Java as an instance of org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable
and doesn't define getter and setter methods for its properties. Thus,
AFAIU, Spring isn't able to set its properties using reflection, whereas I
suppose a Groovy class does define getters and setters.

I am thinking about wrapping the Javascript object in some kind of generated
proxy, but before I begin (and I don't even know *where* to begin from), I
wanted to ask if someone has any suggestions about this issue.

	TIA,
