You are trying to access a variable that hasn't been declared yet. The <%!
%> code gets generated and run during initialization. The <% %> code is RUN
during http requests, AFTER initialization. You are trying to access a
"method" variable in an initialization process. Remember, the JSP gets
converted to a servlet. If you aren't familiar with servlets you should
acquaint yourself with them because that is the best way to become good with
JSP and understand issues like the one you are asking about.
