I want to ask how to set object to some object member or array item using 
Scriptable::put(), context::EvaluateString() or anything else.

Suppose we need to set a Java object(or a wrapper object) "xmlnode" to an 
JS object member myobject.current_node, or myarray[1]. That is like
          myobject.current_node = xmlnode;
or :      myarray[1] = xmlnode;
or :      myarray[1].current_node = xmlnode;
or even : myarray[myobject.index].current_node = xmlnode;


As "xmlnode" is not a JS object, it seems we can not make an assignment 
statement string for EvaluateString methd call. But in order to use 
Scriptable.put, we have to write code to parse the left hand side expression 
and find the proper Scriptable object. It seems it is not very easy for 
both object and array.

So can someone please tell me how to handle this kind value setting? I think 
this must be a very popular issue. 

Thank you very much.

Jay
