Javascript from Java - document object

Question

I am trying to invoke a java script function that creates a html div structure by using e.g.

/* ... */
document.createElement("div");
/* ... */

Unfortunately I have no window and/or document object if I'm running this script directly from Java in contrast of running it in the browser. May somebody give me a piece of advise how to use or modify the javascript code? Is there a way to create a document object by myself? Thanks a lot.

Best regards

Sascha

Rhino and Nashorn do not supply browser objects like window and document. If you want those objects, you'll have to supply them yourself. Try HTMLUnit, which provides implementations of those objects for the purposes of writing unit tests.
