Another option is
<% class Something {
}
%>
This will declare the class within the method _jspService scope. Its not
really recommended, but it is an option (works under Tomcat 3.1 and 3.2,
unsure about 4.0, using JDK 1.2 on WinNT)

Someone recommended the syntax <%! [[decl]] %>
Remember that all such declarations are embedded in the
servlet class that is generated for you. The upshot:
your Something class will be an "inner class".
