Geert,

You are listed as a contributor to the book Professional JSP, by Wrox Press.
On page 32 of that book, it clearly describes <%! %> as enclosing a
declaration block for variables and methods. The only fault I see in Surya's
explanation below is not further explaining what is meant by "valid in the
page scripting language," or explaining the scope of declarations in the
block and the JSP relationship.

Is it possible you are making reference to the concurrency problems when
using the declaration scripting element in JSP vs. Servlets? Of course, the
original inquiry from Kishor did not state whether he was using a Servlet.
And then too, this becomes an implementation design issue as opposed to a
simple functionality issue.

Perhaps the book is in error. Please clarify what you mean by, "<%! %> is
NOT meant to declare variables."

Thanks,
Dave Deniman
