Why don't you use a JSP template to assemble your final page and add the 
script section there.
Also, why don't you stick your script code into an external .js file - 
then you won't need a cdata section at all. And for the specific 
Javascript code that you quoted, you won't need a cdata block - in this 
specific case, you have nothing therein that would make your xhtml 
invalid even when leaving away the CDATA wrapping.

You definitely cannot nest cdata sections, because in XML, the first ]]> 
will terminate any CDATA that was opened before.
