Best answer
Yes, methods can be written inside a JSP page.
They have to be written using JSP declarations <%! ……… %>. The JSP declarations puts the method outside of any method in the generated servlet. Methods can’t be written inside scriptlet because any code written inside scriptlet goes into the _jspService() method of the generated servlet. However writing methods in JSP page is not recommended, instead preferred way is to use custom tag libraries.
