Can I create a 'window' object for javascript running in the Java6 Rhino Script Engine

Question

• I want to run some Javascript on my Java6 server - i.e. using the javax.script API, specifically the Rhino Script Engine. (Although another solution would be acceptable)
• The script file is created & supported by a third party, so I don't want to download it and edit it in case it changes over time.
• The script directly references the 'window' object ( and probably the 'document' object etc. ) which Rhino does not seem to support.

Can I do this, and if so, how?

Answer 1

var window = {}
var document = {}

... of course, they won't do a lot of good unless you populate them with the properties that the script is trying to access.

You can't just populate them with the standard browser APIs - most of them don't make sense outside the context of the browser.
