JSP functions/methods page question

[johnston_58]

Hi,

I am learning JSP. I have previously done ASP and PHP.

My question is, is it possible to create a function/method jsp page.
What I mean is, if i wanted to open a DB connection could I have a
seperate JSP page that contained a function to open the connection so i
could include this page whenever I need to connect to a db.
Is this possible?

Thanks
J

Search for "jsp include" in your favorite engine and you will find

You define functions in a jsp page (local to the page only) by using <%
int myfunction(int a) { return 10*a; %>

You can define an method in a jsp page with

<%!
private java.sql.Connection getConnection()
{
....
and so on
}
%>


The <%! sequence meant, the code is included in the class le­vel in the jsp class:

puclic class jsp_xxxx {


-- your code ---


Must be code for sitting in the class declaration,
an variable or const declaration or an method.


The <% sequence meant, the code is included in the class lev­el in the jsp class:


puclic class jsp_xxxx {


public void jspService() {


-- your code ---


Must be code for running in the jspService method.

What you could do is use Servlets and using the the
Model-View-Controller (MVC)architecture you can have all of your methods
in the servlet and call them from different servlets--then send a call
to the JSP.

Hi,

Thanks to all who replied.
I am using :

<%!
private java.sql.Connection getConnection()
{

and this is working great.

Thanks again,
J
