declarations fault

[tue march]

Hi ppl,

we know that scriptlets and expressions go inside a _jspservice(), and declarations go outside of _jspservice() when a jsp is converted a servlet.

But in one sample programs which i typed and executed, it is showing all the three scriptlets, expressions and declarations all going inside _jspservice().

so can anybody explain which is true either declaration goes inside or not.

i am totally confused.

THanks,
good guy

Is this a beginner question

Anyway, the way it is generated depends on the container implementation.

IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY...

It's not what's inside your delimiters that determines where the included code goes; it's what type of delimiter you use:

Anything in <% %> delimiters is put inline.

Anything in <%= %> is put inline but without closing the current out.print().

Anything in <%! %> is put outside of the _jspservice() method.

If you want declarations to end up out outside the _jspservice() method, just wrap them in <%! and %>.

Let's say it's an upper beginner level JSP question.

...But it's JSP, so I'm moving this thread over to that forum.

"tue march", please do not cross-post the same question in multiple forums. It wastes people's time when multiple redundant conversations take place.
