How to cast JAVA object in server side JavaScript

Category: Server Side JavaScript
Platform: Windows

I would need to manipulate RichTextItem which exists in Notes document from within server side JavaScript. Although I am able to create a new RichText item when the new document is being saved for the first time I am not able to edit it during subsequent saves.

I tried to use document.getFirstItem("Attachments") but it requires a cast to RichTextItem object but I am not able to make it works.The following code cannot be compiled.

attachments = (lotus.domino.local.RichTextItem) document.getFirstItem("Attachments") ;

Any proposal? Thanks for any help in advance.
