Yes, you can. I don't know what kind of effect it would have on performance, I'd guess not much. The bigger impact, though, is on readability and maintainability. And that impact is negative. In fact, a commonly cited disadvantage of JSPs is that you *can* put code in them. It goes against the Model 2 MVC design pattern, which is pretty popular. MVC stands for Model-View-Controller, and the idea is that you have separate objects/code for each of those components. In Model 2, JSPs act as the view, servlets act as the controller, and some back-end, like a database or beans or such, act as the model. So I'd say, unless you have a real good reason for doing this, I wouldn't.
