Hiren, If this question has been answered already, I apologize. I can't tell how old the message is since the date of the email is incorrect b/c the time is not set properly on your machine.
The solution seems to me to be to put the method that is currently in your servlet class into a static method in a separate class so that it can be shared more easily between your servlets and JSP pages. Another, less desirable option would be to make the method static in your servlet class so that you can invoke it from your JSP without creating an instance variable of the servlet class in your JSP.
