String with apostrophe from Java to Javascript

Question

On java (controller) I have a string that can contain an apostrophe. I send this string to the jsp page and the string is extracted in this way:

 var intestatarioLibString = '${libretto.intestatarioLib};

(I send the object libretto which contains the string).

The problem is the apostrophe, if the string contains an apostrophe, the string is "cut" where the apostrophe is. Sample:

If the string that I send is 'DEL PIERO' ALESSANDRO' , when I open the jsp on browser I met an error because the debugger read like:

 var intestatarioLibString = 'DEL PIETRO' ALESSANDRO

So, the apostrophe is considered the end of the string. The problem is that I can't replace the apostrophe, I need it. Can someone can give me a hand please?

"On Java"? Java doesn't have a `var` keyword. None of the code samples seem valid. Are you generating JavaScript in a JSP page? To escape apostrophes, use something like URL encoding. — millimoose, Dec 22 '17 at 13:49
you should escape the apostrophe like this way 'del piero\' alessandro' or use double quotes — Denis Ismailovski, Dec 22 '17 at 13:50

You need to escape the characters in javascript string, for this you can use org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeJavaScript.
