Is it possible to instantiate a class and then invoke its methods between scriptlets in JSP? I am getting errors and I don't know why (java class and methods are fine). Any other way to do the same (i just want a string from a method in a class)?
A:
Yes of-course. You can create objects for your classes and access their methods between scriptlets in JSP like this.
<%
Foo foo = new Foo();
foo.method1();
%>
Another way of doing this is using useBeans of jsp to instantiate the class and access its method in scriptlet
<jsp:useBean id = "foo" class = "Foo" />
<%
foo.method1();
%>

OK thanks.I thought beans are only used on submitting and they may only include getters and setters.
