Are there any APIs to make calls or integrate JavaScript functions to a Java written application? I have come across Rhino's liveconnect.js, but this is uncharted territory for me, and would like a bit more information. My scenario is using a Java application parallel to a JavaScript application wherein the data that is recorded from the Java app is made available in the JavaScript application as well. This is all CRM/SOA stuff.

The customer would enter a request in the java application, but the same request is passed to the JavaScript app.

I am using an Esri ArcGIS JS API Web Application with ArcGIS Server and SQL Server 2008.

Node.js could be used, however now, think of it this way; The ArcGIS JS API web application is the orgin of all spatial components for a call center application which is public facing and internal, there's a Java application that is running parallel to it, we would like to pass any requests originated in the Java application the JavaScript application's database.

Assuming you are running javascript only on client (i.e. no node.js stuff) and Java on the server, then I am not even clear how you can share data between them. I would say you need to have a restful server to pass on the information to the javascript piece. Can you elaborate a bit on the setup? Is the data source the database? –  Mahdi Jan 13 at 18:41
