hi everybody

i need for mi hobbie web app a transference between a java array and a javascript array. this is what i have tried to accomplish but it doesnt seem to work well:

<script type="text/javascript">
var arrayJS=new array();
<% String[] javaArray=(String[])request.getAttribute("names");%>
arrayJS=<%=javaArray%>;
for(var i=0;i<arrayJS.length;i++)
//data processing

any help would be so much appreciated
