I think your right, I was initially going the other route because a lot of
the JSPs are
not *mine* and I needed to make the minimum of changes to the system, but
this is better.
Cheers.

>
> HI All,
> I'm trying to get a static initializer in my JSP page (such that it
> will
> only ever populate
> a hashtable once in the java file generated). Something *like* this :
>
> <%!
> String code = "X";
>
> // static initialiser block to construct hashtable (once ever).
> static {
> Hashtable months = new Hashtable();
> // These values come from the region table in ARM.
> regions.put("0", "January");
> regions.put("2", "February");
>
> // .... etc
>
> }
>
> %>
>
>
> <%
> // Use a month
> out.println("Jan=" + (String) regions.get("1"));
>
> %>
>
>
> It works if I move it out of the <%! .. %> tags and make it a non static,
> but the
> point is I want it to be static .... has anyone done anything similar ?
