how to declare a function in a jsp-file

[DeSn]

Hi,

I want to declare a function (no javascript function) in a jsp-file.
Does any know how to do this?

You can declare a method like this :

<%!
    public String sayHello(String hello) {
       return &quot;Hello &quot; +hello;
    }
%>

<% out.println(&quot;This is my method call &quot; +sayHello(&quot;World&quot;));
%>

This in effect creates a private method within the servlet that the JSP is compiled into.
