Is it possible to give a JSP page variables?

I would like to know if I can add custom variables to the context of a JSP page.

For example, you can use out instead of System.out, is this also possible with own variables so I can use something like myApplication.getVersion()? Or is there another library for doing this?

Yes, it is possible with JSTL tag c:set.

<c:set var="application" scope="session" value="${requestScope.myApplication}"/>

Then you could call any method like ${application.getVersion()}. 

<jsp:useBean id="name" scope="request" type="your.package.Class"/>

Alternatively, you may use bean definition and refer to the object as ${name}.
