Declarations In JSP Pages

We use declaration section for  declaring or  defining of variables or methods

some examples of declaration in JSP pages are as follows

Lisitng 1:

<%!

int number = 10;

%>

Listing 1 explains declaring a simple variable

List 2 :

<%!

String name ="http://www.iforerunner.com"

%>

List 2 is an example of declaring a String

we can also define a method in JSP pages as follows

<%!

String sayHello(String name)

{

return "Hello"+name;

}

%>

above three listings are examples of declarations in JSP if we notice each of the variable declarations ends with semi colon ;
