Using Javascript HTML5 typed arrays from Java using the ScriptManager (Rhino), how?

Question

I've been porting and application I developed in client Javascript to my server (for a multiplayer game purposes). I am executing some parts using the ScriptEngine because I want to use the same code in the client and the server without having to recode everything twice.

At the beginning it worked fine but then I stumbled uppon the problem of the new typed arrays from HTML5 (Float32Array, Uint8Array...). These arrays are not supported by ScriptEngine (Rhino), and I need them for performance reasons so I cant reimplement them in javascript using non-typed arrays.

I thought to reimplement them using Java and importing the package, but there is no way to reimplement [] operators in Java nor extend the basic arrays (AFAIK).

So at the end Im doing a hack and putting some rules for the developer.

Does anyone knows a solution or a way to reimplement the typed arrays in Java and export them to Javascript?.

Thanks

If i am not mistaken, This might help you

I don't think that JSON has anything at all to do with the question being asked. – Clarita

I was not referring to json, It has class that can convert java collections/array to java script array json.org/javadoc/org/json/JSONStringer.html – Penstemon

but that is not what I need. I need a native low-level support for typed-arrays inside the Javascript engine of Java. Thanks anyway. – Albaugh
