Using bean methods within JSP declaration

Question

Is it true that bean methods will not work in JSP Methods ?
For example:
// get the bean
<jsp:useBean id="FormValidate" scope="session" class="fsm.frontendCtr.FormValidate" />
// build a new method in jsp
<%!
boolean validate(HttpServletRequest req, String submitFlag) {
FormValidate.checkMandatory("ADRNACHNAME");
%>ServletExec return:
Undefined Variable or class name: FormValidate
If i use the bean Methods outside the method it worx.
Is there a trick with which I can use BeanMethods in a JSP Method?

JSP Method?FormValidate is this Object. If you need others, pass them from parameters. Try to understand the structure of servlet generated by your JSP.
<%!
boolean validate(HttpServletRequest req, String submitFlag) {
this.checkMandatory("ADRNACHNAME");
%>
hope this helps,
