How to pass an EL variable to javascript

Question

I have a variable ${bean.name} how can i pass it to a javascript var? I\'ve tried var name = \"${bean.name}\" and var name = ${bean.name}<

Answer 1

I think you can using function eval() ,just like as follow:

var name = eval("${bean.name}");

if you want pass a JavaBean to a js var ,you should override toString() method.
