I'm assuming 'out' in this case is the response output stream: I'd pass the stream to the method as you described and declare the method to throw IOException. That way, any exceptions will be handled by the normal JSP page error handling. I'd argue, in fact, that handling such exceptions in your methods is distinctly the wrong thing to do.
