Can you explain in a little more detail what it is that you're trying to do?
Your question doesn't make a lot of sense.
By the time a button in a web page is drawn, the JSP has finished executing.

Hi Shahid,
You can do so by following way
1. write your java function inside java tag
2. write javascript tag and make a function with calling previous java function inside. Means a javascript function calls Java function
3. Call javascript function on onclick properties of button.

No. JavaScript can't call Java - they don't even execute on the same machine (JavaScript executes in the web browser, while the Java code runs in the JSP on the server). As Ben pointed out, they don't run at the same time, either. There may be ways to accomplish what shahidrasul is asking, but we'd need to know more about what exactly that is.

Hey, javascript can call the Java function. Here I am giving you an example. :-)

Write your method inside the declaration tag which is

public String displayResult(){
retrun "IBM";
}

On click of the button, write a javascript function named testJava() and inside this javascript function, give your variables like
var result = "call your method (displayResult) within expression tag";
if you want to see your output, just give alert(result);
Then it will display the result what you got from java method.

Here when you click on the button, it will alert you the value returning from the displayResult() method.

Let me know if you have any concerns... :-)

No, it cannot. And your example shows nothing of the kind.

When you invoke a Java method in a JSP page, it executes the method on the server and embeds the result in the output. Whether this is embedded in JavaScript template text or not is completely irrelevant.

After the page is constructed and sent to the browser and the JavaScript executes, it has no knowledge that any output was written by a Java method. It's all just text at that point. The JavaScript is most certainly not calling the Java function which executed long ago and on the server.

You really need to read this article to understand how JSP really works.
