Yes. The same way as one puts JSP code inside HTML code (although you also
have to write JSP to output a content type header of text/css, since it
would (I believe) otherwise default to text/html).

JSP can be written within a section of JavaScript, so long as it is
processed by the server before it is output, and the browser only
recieves the resultant JavaScript. If you were wanting a browser to
understand the JSP, then no, you can't.

eg. If this is your script.

<script type="text/javascript">
<%
/*
* Code to read from DB or other source, or whatever you need.
* Say, for example, the string "hello world" is returned, and
* set to the message variable
*/
message = "hello world";
%>
var msg = "<%=message%>";
alert(msg);
</script>

From the above JSP, the browser would recieve and execute the following
script:

<script type="text/javascript">
var msg = "hello world";
alert(msg);
</script>

Odd choice of Content-Type header.

Argle. text/javascript of course. I'm too used to answering the "variables
in CSS" question.
