solution
I set the page content type to "text/plain"
then on the server wrote a method to return the test to be evaluated
by the eval method on the client in javascript.
Method on the server is as follows:
public String convertToUnicode(String value){
try{
if(value!=null){
byte[] utf8Bytes = value.getBytes("UTF8");
return new String(utf8Bytes);
}else{
return null;
}
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return value;
}
}
Thanks guys for your help
