Because you declared your boolean inside <%! %> tags, its scope is the
servlet instance, not the request.
If you use <% %> tags, it will be a local variable, but then it's not
exactly clear how this should work. It will of course always be the first
time then.
Maybe you mean that the code should be executed once for every user (and not
request). In that case, store a Boolean in the session.
