You can do this using a third-party library like Rhino, but there is no straightforward way to invoke JavaScript code from Java. Though the two have similar names, they have about as much in common as a car and a caramel.
More generally, having programs written in one language interact with languages written in another is often tricky due to the internals of the two programming language implementations not being compatible with another. There are many exceptions to this rule and a lot of effort has been invested in making projects work in multiple languages, but there’s often a high startup cost.
