Craig, Your response confirms what I thought. My questions was purely educational and not that I am having such cases in my code. Thanks for your response. Surely no one should put logic in the PL (jsp). But someone could define and use a utility method (eg putting a HTML table showing some data eg date etc) in jsp. I positive that this is something that could be done if not in current JSP version but in future versions. There could be a directive eg THIS.doit() that gets translated by the JSP engine into something like colrs$jsp.doit() (colrs.jsp is the jsp file). Though it is certainly not that important as required but could be done. Perhaps also at instance level!
