Get list variable from mysql in javascript

Question

Hello i want to acess data from my mysql server in javascript. But i have no clue how to do so. I am running tomcat so it is not handy to use php. Can someone please help me !

I thought maybe there is some way to get the variables from my servlet, but it seems not possible to get javascript connected to java or is there ?

var blueDates = magic way to get data from my mysql server;

Greetings, Rick

JavaScript is (mostly) a client-side language. You'll need to communicate to the server that's hosting your database, and use some sort of server-side language to actually query the database. — Cerbrus

"but it seems not possible to get javascript connected to java" What do you mean exactly by that? Perhaps you are running into CORS restrictions? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing — Gimby

You have to implement a servlet that returns the data from mysql. A good way to do so is to implemente a servlet that returns a JSON object containing the mysql data.

Once this is done use AJAX to ask the servlet for the data.

There is a lot of information about implementing this. After all this is a minimal REST implementation for a GET request. Just ask Stackoverflow or Google.

I already made a servlet, and wrote the MySQL class. The connection works but i do not know how i can send this information to the java script class that needs to present this information in my jsp before the page loads up ( or the java script loads up ) I will the some of tha AJAX.
