Hi there,
Yes you can. The corresponding method in JSP is jspInit()
<%public void jspInit(){
do your work here;
}
%>
This method is called by JSP container automatically.
Similarly you can use jspDestroy() which is called when the corresponding
servlet class of that jsp is unloaded by the container.
regards
Y
