At least for JSP 1.0, it should be:
<%= i %>
You can actually include any Java expression that returns a string value in such a
scriptlet. For example, if you have a customer bean with id "customer" that has a
"name" property, you might use the following:
The customer name is <%= customer.getName() %>.
This is also quite useful when creating input forms where you want the default
value to be the current value in this field. For example:
<tr>
<th>Customer Name:</th>
<td><input type="text" name="name" size=50
value="<%= customer.getName() %>"></td>
</tr>
Of course, using this scriptlet ties you to the underlying language you are using
(Java in this case), because the text must be a valid expression in that language.
Use <jsp:getProperty> if you need a more language-neutral means to retrieve
properties from beans.
