Your problem is a JSP corker - nothing to do with JSP as an implementation, but the
fact that if you're writing scriplets, then you're outside of a Java IDE with no
compiler/parser support.
s1.getBytes is trying to get the method getBytes as a variable, rather than:
s1.getBytes() - to call the method.
As I said, an easy mistake when you've got no tool support to write the script :)
If you wrap any functionality you need in a bean (either stateful or a stateless
"controller" bean), then you can develop these in an IDE and get all the tool
support you need.
