I want to make an array that is generated from a checkbox group in an HTML request persist through
multiple calls to the server, without setting it n the session.
I can get the array in my JSP from the request.getAttribute, but how can I pass this into Javascript,
or set it so that it gets sent up to the server again? Is it possible?
Thanks.

Johanna, I'm nit sure exactly what you are trying to do, but the following may help.
If you have a Java array that is in scope during JSP execution, you can create a corresponding JavaScript structure. Perhaps something along the lines of:

I don't know if that really addresses your problem or not, but I thought I'd throw that out in case it helps.

Hi:
I come across the same problem.But I can't do this use this method.

I want to send array from send.jsp to get.jsp.
///////////////////////////send.jsp//////////////////////////////

//////////////////////////get.jsp////////////////////////////////////

I want to get all the array when I click the button in get.jsp.But what I get is "undefine,undefine,undefine,yashnoo".
Why?
How to do this or is there any error in my code ?
Thks!

When I face C# and Java I choose Java.

If this was my problem I would write Javascript to create the array outside of any JS function. Here is an example - created inside <script language="JavaScript"> by Java print statements.

You say:

I want get the array when I click the button in get.jsp.

but remember, you click the button on the browser side in HTML written by the JSP - sometimes people new to JSP don't keep in mind how separate the browser and JSP actions are.
