Inside a JSP, how to represent private methods and call them?

[I wrote a servlet, and I want to convert it to a JSP file. Usually it is very simple - all of the code of the "doGet" method directly goes into the JSP. But now I have a private method in that servlet, that the “doGet” method calls with various arguments. How do I put that in a jsp? ]

Use a declaration scriptlet: 


<%!
    private void foo() {
        System.out.println("foo");
    }
%>

<%
  foo();
%>
