In the Generated Servlet

Question

Hi,
In the generated servlet, where does this methodA and methodB come....
<%!
char[] header;
public void methodA(){
%>
<%
char footer;
char[] header; // is this allowed, can i declare a same variable in the initialization block and scriptlet block
public void methodB(){
%>
Regards
AMJ

Answer 1

The generated code would end up something like this:
public class myJSP implements javax.servlet.jsp.HttpJspPage{
char[] header;
public void methodA(){
public void _jspService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws javax.servlet.ServletException, java.io.IOException{
  char footer;
  char[] header; // is this allowed, can i declare a same variable in the initialization block and scriptlet block
  public void methodB(){
}The header is perfectly valid - it just declares a variable local to the _jspService method
methodB is invalid - you can't declare a method inside another method.
