Hi all,

I want to execute Java-Script-Functions of a HTML-page without a
browser in a Java application. The Java-Script functions use and
manipulate values of the Document Object Model (DOM) of the Webpage.
I tried to use the Rhino interpreter but I have problems to transfer
the DOM information to Rhino.

Here is what I whant:
The HTML-page/document is "converted" into a JDOM document. Out of
this JDOM document I extract the Java-Script. The Java-Script-Code and
the DOM information is transfered to Rhino. From my Java application I
then want to execute Java-Script functions in Rhino and check the
maybe new values of the DOM values.

So, is it possible to refer and to manipulate DOM object values from
Rhino?

In http://groups.google.com/groups?q=DOM+Rhino&hl=de&lr=&selm=8ur47h%24luc%241%40nnrp1.deja.com&rnum=2
someone says that the following code would work:
Scriptable jsObject = Context.toObject(myDocument, scope);
scope.put("document", scope, jsObject);

But when I test it with my JDOM document as myDocument the document
variables like document.elementname are not recognized.

Thank you for your help

Matthias
