Passing a Java string to Javascript

I am trying to load a table with data by initializing a Javascript variable with a string in JSON format. If I declare:

<script type="text/javascript">
var data = new String("{totalCount: '1', identifier: 'EntityID', items: [{'EntityID':'1','Country':'United States','Region':'','State':'California','County':'Santa Clara','City':'San Jose','ZipCode':'95134'}]}");
var d3 = eval('(' + data + ')');
<span dojoType="dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore" jsId="dataStore" data=d3></span>
</script>

then my table will correctly load the row.

I have tried initializing a Java string before my script and then passing that object into a Javascript variable like so:

<%
String d = "{totalCount: '1', identifier: 'EntityID', items: [{'EntityID':'1','Country':'United States','Region':'','State':'California','County':'Santa Clara','City':'San Jose','ZipCode':'95134'}]}";
%>

<script type="text/javascript">
var data = new String(<%=d%>);
// var data = new String(d) // tried this as well
var d3 = eval('(' + data + ')');
<span dojoType="dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore" jsId="dataStore" data=d3></span>
</script>

My table does not recognize this and is unable to load the row when I attempt to pass it this way. How can I properly pass a Java string to Javascript so that my table will be able to load the data?

Try with quotes around.

var data = new String("<%= d %>");
