How to convert Java array received a PlayFramework view to javascript?

Question

I have two Java objects of the form:

List<Integer> numberList = new ArrayList<Integer>() {{
    add(2);
    add(4);
    add(8);
}};

And:

List<String> alphaList = new ArrayList<String>() {{
    add("two");
    add("four");
    add("eight");
}};

And rendered to a PlayFramework view called index.scala.html using:

return ok(index.render(numberList, alphaList));

I must manipulate these arrays within a javascript script in index.scala.html. How do I do this?

Try:

var numList = @numberList
var aList = @alphaList

This turns them into javascript arrays.
