The best way to do is as in @emboss' answer: JSON is the best to go about it. There are tons of libraries available for parsing json on client as well as the server side. Just google.Nivas– Nivas2011-08-15 14:52:02 +00:00Commented Aug 15, 2011 at 14:52

I would suggest that you look into JSON as your transport format. Encode your Java String array into JSON and send this to your Javascript. It's a very lightweight format and there exist tons of Javascript frameworks (jQuery, mootools, dojo, you name it) that make working with it a pleasure.
