No it's not, because of the timing of what is going on.
The JSP page (including it's scriptlets) are compiled into a servlet that is
executed on the server when the page is requested. By the time you see the page,
all of that code has already been executed.
The "onChange" event handler, on the other hand, happens inside your browser
client, and can execute any JavaScript code (not JSP scriptlet) that you include in
the page. From this JavaScript code, the currently selected item is indeed
available -- one of the JavaScript oriented web sites should have examples of the
precise syntax.
