Ben made a serious mistake, however. In the part about variable declaration, he says:
Let's start with something simple -- variable assignment.
The following ColdFusion code creates a variable and assigns
a value to it:
<CFSET name="Ben">
This is the equivalent JSP code:
<%! String name="Ben"; %>
But it's really not. The CF version creates a variable visible only to the thread
that executes it. The JSP version that Ben shows creates a variable visible to all
threads that process the page.
The correct alternative is to declare the variable in a scriptlet, which prevents the
variable from being shared by multiple threads. See the O'Reilly JSP book, page 402
for more info.
