Michal Belicek,
You can't use the implicated "out " object directly within your declaration because
whatever you define will be outside of the "_jspService" method, which is where
"out" and some other objects being defined by the sever. If you really want use
it, you can pass the JspWriter as a parameter, then use it whatever you want.
Something like the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>Greetings</title>
</head>
<body>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%! public void Mytest(JspWriter out)throws IOException{
out.println("this is a test");
} %>
<% Mytest(out);%>
</body>
</html><html>
<head>
<title>Greetings</title>
</head>
<body>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%! public void Mytest(JspWriter out)throws IOException{
out.println("this is a test");
} %>
<% Mytest(out);%>
</body>
</html>
Hope this will help.
