You can create a function in JSP:
<%!
String format(....) { }
%>
Note that '!', it indicates the following block is a declaration and
should be placed as such in the resulting Java servlet (JSPs are
translated to servlets).
Note however that a much better approach would be to develop a custom
tag.
Cheers,
Boris
