JSP calling a function from another jsp file

Question

Hi i have a JSP file , while trying to add code i got the 64k limit error. so i decided to add the code to another jsp file and include it inside the first one.

so i have

first.jsp

.....
<jsp:include page="second.jsp"/>
....
<%= foo(); %>

second.jsp ....

<%!
public String foo()
{
 return "test";
}
>%

i try using this and i get this error message: "The method foo is undefined for the type first_jsp"

any idea what is the problem and how i can solve this ?

This is the wrong way to do it.

First, if you want some method, create a Java class, and import it using <%@ page import="your.package.YourClass*" %>

Second, don't use scriptlets in the JSP page at all. Use JSTL. Possibly JSTL functions. See here

ok , so you are saying i should only use this <%= %> and avoid using java inside with those <% %> – yossi Oct 25 '10 at 09:07
you should not use these scriptlets at all – Bozho Oct 25 '10 at 09:12

so if i understand correct i should put inside a jsp file only html and <%= x %> and do all my logic in a java class ? – yossi Oct 25 '10 at 09:12

Stop using scriptlets. Use JSTL tags to access your data and write your Java code in servlets/regular java classes.
