If you're doing this from javascript, why not use the JSON format instead? You'll get a sensible javascript object returned, with no parsing required.

Yes.I could generate response in json format as well.But,I am new to java so not sure of how to use json response.Any pointers or help on json is much appreciated!I need to display this on jsp page.

Despite the names, java and javascript are two completely different languages. You're using javascript, not java.

There's a JSON tutorial on the W3Schools site: http://www.w3schools.com/json/[^]

Basically, if you get the response using the JSON format, you'll get a fully-populated javascript object. You won't need to parse anything, and you can just concentrate on displaying the data.
