external variable

[Luis Javier Beltran]

Hi all,   Is there a way I can define an external variable that can be accessed from any other method I define in a JSP?   I want to create a method that prints something, but I don't want to pass the 'out' variable as a parameter. I want to copy it to a 'global' variable, so I can call it from within the other method.   Thanks for your help!   Luis Javier
