Actually jsp is the modified form of java servlets.It is having so many taglibraries.So In advance we have to make use of java beans and jsp together.Jsp is a scriptlet language.So making private functions in jsp is a bad programming technique.We have to make use of java beans..

ya sure,
we can write the function in the scriplets

eg:
<%
public String show()
{
return "good";
}
%>

you can declare function in tld file and use access via the tag lib prefix in the JSTL expression :

${myfn:functions1(arg)} where the myfn is the taglib prefix
