JDK-5054010 - REGRESSION:String values not returned properly from a Java applet to JavaScript
Description
When calling Java from Javascript, the result type returned from Java is a Javascript Object with the 1.5.0 runtime.  With 1.4.x the result type is a simple type.  The causes some Javascript code to break.

For example, the Javascript split function expects a string, not an object.  If the returned value from a Java call were passed to the split function, it would result in an undefined value from the split call.
