In JSP attach JSON content to html node and then in JavaScript read node content and evaluate them as JS Object.

Such solution might be usefull as temporal only. Consider to use another way

Attach your class instance as request attribute before forwarding to your JSP and use it in the view afterwards. Also, be sure not to do business job in the getter (and return an object if you claim to).

All in all, the class code could look like:

class BeanManager{

private JSONObject jsonObject;
private String jsonObjectString;

public BeanManager() {
    jsonObject=new JSONObject();
    jsonObject.put("name","jack Daniel");
    jsonObject.put("age","3");
    jsonObjectString = jsonObject.toString();
}

public JSONObject getJsonObjectString() {
    return jsonObjectString;
}

}

The relevant servlet part could look like:

BeanManager bm = new BeanManager();//manipulate it the way you want
request.setAttribute("bean", bm);
request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/view.jsp").forward(request, response);

The view could contain the following part:

<script>
    var json = ${bm.jsonObjectString};
</script>

This way, json variable will be available in JavaScript context.

In case you'd like to deal with AJAX requests, take a look at How to use Servlets and Ajax? question and its answer. There, JSON object is returned from servlet and later parsed into HTML document.

i am trying to do same think in jsf application can u please let me know how to retrieve the same json object using jquery — henrycharles, Jul 23 '13 at 10:42
In JSF it's not typically done that way, though it is possible. For more information you can see my answer to [How to pass a List to javascript in JSF](http://stackoverflow.com/a/16563361/1820286). — skuntsel, Jul 23 '13 at 10:51
