jsp中定义函数

今天想在jsp中定义函数，写好了
    public boolean isExist(String checkValue,String checkField,String tableName,Statement stmt){
        boolean bool=false;
        String query="SELECT * FROM "+tableName+" WHERE "+checkField+"=/'"+ checkValue + "/'";
        ResultSet resultset=stmt.executeQuery(query);
        try{
            if(resultset.next()){
                bool=true;
            }   
        }catch(SQLException sqle){
            System.err.println("Erro with connection:"+sqle);
        }
        return bool;
    }
结果总是出这个错误

exception

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

 查了半天错误也找不出什么问题，只好求助baidu
才发现需要一个叹号！
采用下面的形式
<%!
int a(int i){
i=i++;
return i;
}
%>
<%
for(int k=0;k<=10;k++){
out.println(a(k));}
%>
就可以了调用了
不过函数还存在问题，需要继续修改~~~
