/**
*
* JspContext serves as the base class for the
* PageContext class and abstracts all information that is not specific
* to servlets. This allows for Simple Tag Extensions to be used
* outside of the context of a request/response Servlet.
*
* The JspContext provides a number of facilities to the
* page/component author and page implementor, including:
*
* - a single API to manage the various scoped namespaces
*
- a mechanism to obtain the JspWriter for output
*
- a mechanism to expose page directive attributes to the
* scripting environment
*
*
* Methods Intended for Container Generated Code
*
* The following methods enable the management of nested JspWriter
* streams to implement Tag Extensions: pushBody() and
* popBody()
*
*
Methods Intended for JSP authors
*
* Some methods provide uniform access to the diverse objects
* representing scopes.
* The implementation must use the underlying machinery
* corresponding to that scope, so information can be passed back and
* forth between the underlying environment (e.g. Servlets) and JSP pages.
* The methods are:
* setAttribute(), getAttribute(),
* findAttribute(), removeAttribute(),
* getAttributesScope() and
* getAttributeNamesInScope().
*
*
* The following methods provide convenient access to implicit objects:
* getOut()
*
*
* The following methods provide programmatic access to the
* Expression Language evaluator:
* getExpressionEvaluator(), getVariableResolver()
*
* @since JSP 2.0
