I tried your code out using a different JSP engine WebLogic Server 4.5.1 and
got similar results. I also tried,
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<%! int myNumber=0; %>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
myNumber = myNumber + 1;
%>
<P>Refresh count = <%=myNumber%></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
and this had a similar effect. I guess this is by design (?) but it's
certainly something to be aware of.

Subject: Something strange
Hi:
I have a piece of code look like this:
<%! String str=""; %>
<% for (int i=1; i < 10; i++) { str = i +"<br>"+str; } %>
Before <B>JSP</B> Output <P>
<%= str %>
<P> After <B>JSP</B> Output
This works. The strange thing is each time I click on the Refresh, <%=str
%> outputs more and more repeated values(from 9 to 1). It seems <%! String
str=""; %> does not work from the second time I click on the Refresh button.
Do you know why? I am using Tomcat and IE5.
Thanks,
Regards,
Dennis Huang
