Well, that did it.  I return just "MyCanvas" without the package from 
getClassName(), and it works.

I guess I'm confused between when and where the java package names 
apply.  I've seen in the docs/tutorial/examples where they rever to 
things in javascript like "java.util.Date", and other places where they 
start with the Packages object to get to other package hierarchies.

My interest is in having Java objects which are accessible through 
javascript.

Brian.
