Here is the sample code using AJAX. For more info read inline comments.

Servlet:

Fetch the data from the database in doGet() method and simply write a comma separated string the HTTP response and flush it to the client.

HTML:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(
            function() { // When the HTML DOM is ready loading, then execute the following function...
                $('.btn-click').click(
                        function() { // Locate HTML DOM element with ID "somebutton" and assign the following function to its "click" event...
                            $.get('myServletURL', function(responseJson) { // Execute Ajax GET request on URL of "someservlet" and execute the following function with Ajax response JSON...
                                //alert(responseJson);
                                var $select = $('#maindiv'); // Locate HTML DOM element with ID "someselect".
                                $select.find('option').remove(); // Find all child elements with tag name "option" and remove them (just to prevent duplicate options when button is pressed again).
                                var items = responseJson.split(',');

                                for ( var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
                                    $('<option>').val(items[i]).text(items[i])
                                            .appendTo($select); // Create HTML <option> element, set its value with currently iterated key and its text content with currently iterated item and finally append it to the <select>.
                                }
                            });
                        });
            });
</script>

</head>
<body>
    <select id="maindiv" style="width: 300px;"></select>
    <input type="button" class="btn-click" id="best" value="check" />
</body>
