One exciting capability of the MID server is that it lets you run Java commands. Just like the instance, the MID server uses Rhino, a JavaScript interpreter written in Java, to execute your scripts. We've just been using this via JavascriptProbe.

Included with Java is a huge collection of programming tools, such as encryption algorithms, file and web access, math functions, and database control. It is easy to call these from the MID server, as follows:
var out = new Packages.java.io.FileWriter("file.txt"); out.write("Hello, world!"); out.close();
