Might be missing something, but in my case what I want to do is have the DB 
(using your example as analogy) call the E interpreter and hand an object 
from its runtime and have this wrapped as E object... etc.   In other words 
I'm not newing the java object from within my session, but am calling

org.erights.e.elang.interp.Interp

programmatically.   Are you talking about this?
