JavaScript variable is on client side, JSP variables is on server side, so you can't access javascript variables in JSP. But you can store needed data in hidden fields, set its value in client and get it on server over GET or POST.
Client side:
<script type="text/javascript">
var el = document.getElementById("data");
el.value = "Needed_value";
</script>
<form action="./Your_JSP.jsp" method="POST">
<input id="data" type="hidden" value="" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
server side:
<%
if (request.getParameter("data") != null) { %>
Your value: <%=request.getParameter("data")%>
<%
}
%>

Beware of "Cross-Site Scripting" issues here.
I came across the same issue. I wanted to fetch couple of data in jsp. What I did is, in javascript function I concatenated the data in one variable with delimiter and passed that variable in parameter like this.
function myname()
{
var fname = "FirstName";
var lname = "LastName";
var fullname = fname+","+lname;
document.location.href = "demopage.jsp?name="+fullname;
}
And then in jsp page, we can fetch the full name as,
<c:set var="varname" value='<%= request.getParameter("name") %>' />
Now we can split the first name and last name using delimiter ','.

function call()
{
var name="xyz";
window.location.replace=("a.jsp?m="+name);
}
String name=request.getParameter("name");
if(name!=null){
out.println(name);
}
