invoking java scriptlet in JSP using HTML

Question

I am trying to find a way to invoke a piece of java code within the JSP using HTML form

Answer 1

you cannot write a java method in scriptlet. Because at compilation time code in scriptlet becomes part of service method. Hence method within a method is wrong.

How ever you can write java methods within init tag and can call from scriptlet like below code.

       

  

    <%
        invokeMe();

     %>

  <%!
       private void invokeMe(){
       out.println("He invoked me. I am happy!");   
     }
   %>
