I don't usually deal with Java applets of any kind, but this was
interesting. I worked up a Swing JApplet and have a JavaScript function
an a JSP page.

Since you mentioned Safari I did Safari 5.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with
Java Plug-in 1.6.0_31.

The applet has text fields to take 2 numbers, a result text field, and a
"submit" button. The JavaScript function is

function addNums(one,two) {
  return one+two;
}

and the important 2 lines of code in the applet are

JSObject win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
Object sum = win.call("addNums", new Object[] {num1, num2});

where 'num1' and 'num2' are java.lang.Doubles. So is 'sum'.

There is not anything more to it. It worked just fine.
