* The JspFactory is an abstract class that defines a number of factory methods available to a JSP page at runtime for
* the purposes of creating instances of various interfaces and classes used to support the JSP implementation.
*
* A conformant JSP Engine implementation will, during it's initialization instantiate an implementation dependent
* subclass of this class, and make it globally available for use by JSP implementation classes by registering the
* instance created with this class via the static setDefaultFactory() method.
*
* The only implementation-dependent classes that can be created from the factory are: PageContext, JspEngineInfo, and
* JspApplicationContext.
*
* With the exception of JspApplicationContext, JspFactory objects should not be used by JSP application developers.
