This looks like an example using the old JSP 0.91/0.92 syntax. Make sure you
use the syntax that matches the version of your JSP container. If you're using
an old reference implementation I suggest you upgrade to JSWDK 1.0.1 (JSP 1.0)
or try the "still-under-development" JSP 1.1 reference implementation from the
Jakarta project, see http://java.sun.com/products/jsp
As a side-note, I suggest you encapsulate code that you want to use in your
JSP pages in a bean or a custom action (JSP 1.1) instead of declaring them
directly in the JSP page as above. Keeping most of the code out of the actual
JSP pages makes it both much easier to maintain the JSP application and share
logic throughout the application.
