You can't do that. The jsp spec forbids it.

My goal in this is to have a function that returns a string. But instead of doing something like this:
<%!
Public String test() {
return "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"
cellpadding=\"0\">";
} %>
I want to be able to jump out of JSP and just have the function echo it
to the screen without needing to escape the "s to put it into a String
object.

You can't mix: <%! stuff with open brace { %> JSP CODE <%! } closeing brace here %>
Anything in <%!%> are class level declarations which live outside the jspService() method. See the generated java to see what i mean.

Maybe I wasn't clear. The code that I pasted below is throwing all sorts of errors. Assuming that something like this can be done. Why does my code throw errors?
Thanks Charles

Is it possible to do something like the following? I have as much code as I want in Java classes. This is just to make modifying the UI
easier.
<%! public String test() { %> test2 <%! } %> <%=test()%>
Yes it is and one of the reaons using JSP's instead of just Servlets is attractive.
