Through JavaScript via Rhino?

You should start by getting an overall understanding of how Xapian works. I strongly recommend working through http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoC%20Guide which will get you up to speed with Xapian itself.

For a look at the current state of the Java bindings, see xapian-bindings/java/SmokeTest.java; ignore the commented code. However there’s immediately one thing that jumps out from there, which is lack of exception handling in the bindings. (Also, that test file should probably be converted to use jUnit, which should make it more readable.)

For more information about how SWIG bindings work, please see the SWIG documentation, which is linked from the project description.
