In a JSP, you can include normal Java code by enclosing it in the <% %> tags. For example, if you wish to have a method insode your JSP page, then you can have it the following way:
Once you have a method, you can call it from anywhere (that is, after the method implementation ofcourse) with the following syntax:

Sorry, but if you're going to declare new methods in a JSP they have to be put in declaration tags (<%! %>). Code inside declaration tags gets added to the resulting servlet at the class level, where you would want a method declaration. If you use the scriptlet tags (<% %>) the code is inserted inside the _jspService() method of the resulting servlet, which would cause an error if you tried to declare a method there.
