Thanks for your answers!
My problem is that I need to make two things at the same time : formatting
data for the events and finding the values to configure my timeline (central
date and interval units and pixels).
I was able to use the servlet solution, but it makes me duplicate my logic.
I would like to make all the logic before printing my jsp, that is why I
would like to be able to retrieve the events directly from the jsp.
I am sorry I cannot give you an url where you can see my timeline, but the
one I am using is very basic, I give you my source attached.
Thanks in advance,
Laura

Asunto: Re: loading events from a json object included in the same jsp
You could just dump that json into a servlet as a String.
YourServlet:
<%
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter();
String theJSON = " 'events' : [{'start': '1924','title':
'Barfusserkirche','description': 'by Lyonel Feininger, American/German
Painter,1871-1956',"+
"'image':
'http://images.allposters.com/images/AWI/NR096_b.jpg','link':'http://www.all
posters.com/-sp/Barfusserkirche-1924-Posters_i1116895_.htm'}, "+
"{'start': '1913','end': '1929','title': 'Three
Figures','description': 'by Kasimir Malevich, Ukrainian
Painter,1878-1935',"+
"'image':
'http://images.allposters.com/images/BRGPOD/75857_b.jpg','link':'http://www.
allposters.com/-sp/Three-Figures-1913-28-Posters_i1349989_.htm'},]}; ";
out.println(theJSON);
%>
And then in your jsp you can do the following:
tl = Timeline.create(document.getElementById("my-timeline"), bandInfos);
tl.loadJSON("urlOfYourServlet", function(json, url) {
eventSource.loadJSON(json, url); });
HTH.

Hi Laura,
Instead of
tl.loadJSON(json_events, function(json, url) {
eventSource.loadJSON(json, url);
});
}
have you tried this?
eventSource.loadJSON(json_events, document.location.href);
