Nono, you've got to understand the difference between the java/JSP code that
runs on the server and
javascript code that runs on the client.
You cannot run a function on the server triggered from an event on the
client in a single page, like you're trying to do.
One thing you can do is to use JSP to dynamically generate a javascript
function that responds to an event.
Another solution is to perform the function in another request (same or
other page).
