How to access a Java object in JavaScript from JSP

I have a dropdown box in JSP, listing a Java object (accessing the object through the MVC controller's addAttribute). Now, on selection of an option from the dropdown box, I would like to display the selected employee's other details (example - ${employee.employeeCV}, ${employee.employeeName}) in a div. I have a JavaScript function for that (displayCV()). But I am not sure how to do this.

JSP -

<c:forEach items="${employees}" var="employee">
  <option value="${employee.id}" onclick="displayCV();">
    ${employee.employeeName}
  </option>
</c:forEach>

<b>CV:</b>

JavaScript

function displayCV() {
    var valueSelected = $('#employeeList').val();
    var div = $('#candidateDiv');
}

How can I do this?
