When I used to scrape the betfair pages their prices were formatted into the page using javascript too. I just used to use regex to pick out the price data and then use that data however I wanted. Generally the pages using javascript will be calling that data for updates from a separate page containing only the data so it makes life easier if you know how to recreate the data back into something useful.
It might help if you state the actual pages you're trying to grab as you've stated javascript and java and they're two different thing, I'd imagine grabbing a java page is a lot harder to parse out info
