Declaring the variables in the scriptlet is gone into the service method when jsp converted into servlet but in declaration tags goes into the class label variable

Whatever we insert the java code in the scriplet will be available in the _jspService() method once your jsp is converted to servlet,On the other hand whatever u insert into declaration will not be available in the service method, is available at the class level.
