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.

Regards,

Alastair

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
