Pavan -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:JSP-INTEREST@;JAVA.SUN.COM] On Behalf Of cbarnes Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 3:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Methods in JSPs I've added a method to my JSP, which in a simplified form looks something like the following: <%! private void output(String text) { System.out.println(text); } %> I want to change this so that it also displays 'text' on the html page, but I can't work out how this can be done from within the method. If I do the following: <%! private void output(String text) { System.out.println(text); %> <p><%= text %></p> <% } %> I get an error because it thinks the method is not terminated with a }. If I do the following: <%! private void output(String text) { System.out.println(text); %> <p><%= text %></p> <%! } %> it thinks that 'text' is no longer in scope. Can anyone help?
