You can write a Method in JSP as below if you don't have any concern of using scriptlets. <%! String toPrint; public string function() {
return "Hello World"; } %> ... ..... <% toPrint = function(); %> <TD> <%=toPrint%> </TD> Thanks and Regards Maria -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Prat Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 11:25 AM To: JSP-INTEREST@JAVA.SUN.COM Subject: Spam: Function call using variables I am trying to call a Java Bean function from my JSP. I need to call this dynamically. Would appreciate any inputs. Here is what I am trying to do : <% String temp = "FunctionName()"; // Ofcourse what I am doing is not this straight forward but I would eventually have a string that is a function name similar to this. %> <TD><%=temp%></TD> -This, I know is wrong since it would print the string. But what I would like it to do is call the function FunctionName (). I need it to do something similar to eval. Any inputs on the approach please?
