Why are you writing scriptlets and functions in JSPs?
Functions are supposed to be written in the Java Application layer.
JSPs are best suited only to display information.
Also why are you using Scriptlets insted of JSTL ?
Anyway, if you want to write in JSPs only , here's how to write a function in them: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=496577&messageID=2341986 you can figure out the rest.

Writing functions that contain scriptlets/expressions

How do I go about writing functions in my JSP page that contain scriptlets and expressions? Also, I'd like to reference session/request/response variables from within.
I want something like this:
<jsp:useBean id="myObject" class="com.classes.*" scope="session" />
<%!
void printList()
     String str1 = myObject.getName();    <%-- reference outside object --%>
     String str2 = request.getParameter("address"); <%-- use request variable --%>
     out.println(str1 + ": " + str2); <%-- I know it's illegal to do this, but how do I print to the browser from a function? --%>
     <%= request.getParameter("zipcode") %> <%-- Also illegal (are expressions allowed?) --%>
     out.println("<A HREF=\"<% session.getAttribute("url") %>\">Click here</a>"); <%-- dynamic and static content: how do I do this? --%>
%>I unsure as to how to carry out the above actions. My biggest problem is the last example. How do I print out HTML interspliced with dynamic content with my function?
I'm pretty sure that nesting <% %> tags inside of <%! %> directive tags is illegal. Is writing a void function that prints out a bunch of static and dynamic data simply not possible with JSP? If so, is it necessary that I write several functions to return values which can then be printed later in the page via separate scriptlets or expressions?

Take a look at generated servlet code and try to understand how it is working.
request and response is available only inside some method body. So to access it in your method, you must pass it as argument.
void printList(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) { ... }everything inside
<%!
is added to servelt code, but things inside <% %> are added to processing method body not servlet body.
Take look at jsp and corresponding servlet:
JSP:
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<html>
<head><title>JSP Page</title></head>
<body>
    <%="place 1"%>
</body>
</html>
<%!
    public String aaa() {
        return "palce2";
%>GENERATED SERVLET
package org.apache.jsp;
import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.jsp.*;
public final class test_jsp extends org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase
    implements org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspSourceDependent {
    public String aaa() {
        return "palce2";

public java.util.List getDependants() {
    return _jspx_dependants;

Access session variable in Java Function in JSP

Hi Experts !!
I am developing an application using STRUTS MVC...
Very sorry if u have problem understanding my question, i ll try to improve... and sorry if i can't post codes here
Basic question is ....
I want to open a word document on pageLoad of JSP, the word document is not a single document, there is a form in which there is a "name" and "template" whenever user clicks on a button there is one action attached to it which creates a copy of that template in a different folder.. on the next page OnLoad i want to open that particular document. for that i have created a variable and also have set in the session, just want to access it in the below code.
I have a formbean in which i have a variable, the scope is session, that variable i have put it in session also. but i want to access that variable in a "java function" in JSP so that "onLoad" page that function should work.
JSP---
<script type="text/javascript">
function openDocument() {
var w = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
var docText;
var obj;
var a;
if (w != null) {
w.Visible = true;
obj = w.Documents.Open(I HAVE TO ACCESS THAT VARIABLE HERE);
</script>
FORMBEAN----
public class CreateSOWFormBean extends ActionForm {
private String workflowName;
private String comment;
private String sowTemplate;
private String sowFileCreated;
public String getSowFileCreated() {
return sowFileCreated;
public void setSowFileCreated(String sowFileCreated) {
this.sowFileCreated = sowFileCreated;
sowFileCreated is the variable that i have accessed in session and that value i have to pass in that function in JSP....
I am aware of something like
obj = w.Documents.Open(<%'sowFileCreated'%>);
but i m not sure how to write....
Plz help.....

If you're working under a framework like struts you should definitely be using JSTL tags rather than scriptlet code to access variables within the page. With JSTL code <% codes can be almost entirely avoided.
To transfer a value from a Servlet to a JSP don't use a session variable, use a request attribute. Session variables should only be used when values have to survive from one transaction to another.
You can write something like:
obj = w.Documents.open('<c:out value="${openURL}"/>');in the Javascript portion of your JSP.
Just beware of potential problems with quotes. The coresponding code in the Servlet would be like:
request.setAttribute("openURL", openUrl);

How to realize print function in JSP

How to realize print function in JSP? I know use Javascript:window.print() can print,but it will print whole page,it don't fit me;Another method is to write JSP into Excel and then print it in Excel,but it don't fit me too,because it don't print directly. Anybody know how to print it directly?

Many websites offer a "printer friendly" version of a certain page. That IMO is the only way to solve your problem, next to using CSS to use a different style for printer output. Here is a tutorial that covers this:

How to write printing function using JSP?

dear all,
i want to add a printing function in my project but i do not know how to do it? could anyone teach me how to do it?
thanks
eric

salut eric,
you can do it this way :
1 - create a html link in your code to this javascript
function : (I am using Struts, but you can write it in
pure html
<html:link href="#bodyStart"
onclick="openWindowForPrinting()"
titleKey="msg.status.print"> <bean:message
key='app.print' />
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</html:link>
>
>
2 - here is the javascript function : it open a window
with the "print.jsp" page.
function openWindowForPrinting(){
window.open('/your_project/pages/common/print.jsp','',
'left=150, top=150 , status=no, directories=no,
toolbar=no, menubar=yes, location=no, scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes, dependant=yes');
3 : here is the print.jsp page : You have only to
create a session variable called
"currentBodyRelativeLocation", which content the
relative URL to the page you want to print (for
example, the boby of the current page).
<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/tlds/perso.tld'
prefix='perso' %>
<html>
<head>
<perso:csslink page='${cssRelativeLocation}' />
</head>
<body onload="var SymTmpWinOpen = window.open; window.open = SymWinOpen; printPage();; window.open = SymTmpWinOpen;">
<body>
<jsp:include page="${currentBodyRelativeLocation}"/>
</body>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</html>
<script language='javascript'>
function printPage(){
window.print();
window.close();
</script>
hai,
i'm not very understand how is your code work. when i write html code, do i need to mind about this code: "msg.status.print" ? what is this code mean?

Same as PHP Functionality In JSP, HOw?

Hi,
I am a developer having experiance in PHP with Oracle, I recently have projects to develop in JSP, I want know does JSP also have the Variable in Variable functioanlity in as it's available in PHP?
In php I stored my variable name in a PHP variable as
$Asif='My Name is Asif';
$a='Asif';
Echo "Here we can get the result of variable Asif using variable a: ".$$a;
in the above by using $$ it understand the inside value is the actual variable name whose value is to print..
I need same functionality in JSP.....
if Any one can help...
THanks in Advance.
Asif

The same rule applies for textboxes as for checkboxes with the same name - indeed for any components accessed in the dom via javascript.
If there is only one element of that name, it is accessed directly.
If there is more than one element of that name, it reveals them as an array.
so document.testForm.a_date would return an array of input fiels
document.testForm.a_date[0], document.testForm.a_date[1] ... document.testForm.a_date[n]
However the order of submission of parameters is NOT guarunteed, which is why people normally DON'T have fields in this manner - because you can't know for certain that a_date[1] matches with b_date[1] at the server end.
The common practice is to give each field a unique name (numbered).

EMAIL FUNCTION USING JSP

HOW CAN I WRITE A EMAIL FUNCTION USING JSP
WHICH HAVE FORWARD, REPLY, REPLAY ALL, AND ADDRESS BOOK LIKE YAHOO EMAIL FUNCTION
HOW CAN I WRITE IT?

I meant you would face a considerable challenge trying to write
public static void main(String[] arg) { } with your Caps-Lock key stuck.
You would not even be able to escape your way out of it with
\u0070\u0075\u0062\u006C\u0069\u0063 \u0073\u0074\u0061\u0074\u0069\u0063 \u0076\u006F\u0069\u0064 \u006D\u0061\u0069\u006E(S\u0074\u0072\u0069\u006E\u0067[] \u0061\u0072\u0067) { } as the "\u" escape sequence also contains a lowercase character.

Hi,
Try using format part of the JSTL tag libs.
Syntax :
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
<fmt:formatNumber value="40" pattern="$#,##0.00"/>
I need help in writing the data from JSP to excel.I
somehow able to retrieve the data into excelHow do u convert the jsp to excel?
One way to convert the jsp page to excel, is to render it as an excel appl instead of html. Set the content type of the response to application/ms-excel.
response.setContentType("application/ms-excel")Hope this Helps....
