It would appear not. However you can put tags/code within a <jsp:useBean>
... </jsp:useBean> tag so you could call a method which actually does the
initialisation of the bean there.
There are also XML friendly versions of the <% ... %> scriplet tags -
<jsp:scriptlet> ... </jsp:scriptlet> see the JSP spec. document.
