Subj : creating JS objects in Java...?

So, if I use the JavaAdapter to make c new javascript class that 
inherits from another class an implements a few interfaces, if I use the 
Rhino API to get a hold of that object in Java, can I use it right then 
and there as an object of those interface types?  Or do I have to use it 
as such only in the JS context?

Here's what I want to do:  I have an engine that takes Module objects. 
Many of these Module objects have been overwritten in Java - 
EmailModule, etc.  I would like to be able to have the user author his 
own Module using JavaScript, using, presumably, the JavaAdapter.

This authoring is done in a little gui.  Say that I have an interface 
Foo which has an method Bar() that I want to overwrite.  So, in this gui 
he writes "function Bar(){print("HelloWorld");}".  Now, -in Java- how do 
I make this Module object with this code overloading the superclass 
method Bar() such that I then have a Java Module object that I can pass 
around my Java API?

Basically, I want a Java function (not a JS function) like this:

public Module BuildSubclass(String[] superclasses, String iBarJSCode, 
String iSomeOtherMethodJSCode,...)
{
	Module m = new JavaAdapter(superclasses, iBArJSCode, 
iSomeOtherMethodJSCode);

return m;
}

Now I have a Module object that extends or implements an arbitrary 
number of classes or interfaces and who has various overloaded methods.


How do I do this? I would be incredibly grateful for some help.

thanks!
