/**
*
* PageContext extends JspContext to provide useful context information for
* when JSP technology is used in a Servlet environment.
*
* A PageContext instance provides access to all the namespaces associated
* with a JSP page, provides access to several page attributes, as well as
* a layer above the implementation details. Implicit objects are added
* to the pageContext automatically.
*
*
The PageContext class is an abstract class, designed to be
* extended to provide implementation dependent implementations thereof, by
* conformant JSP engine runtime environments. A PageContext instance is
* obtained by a JSP implementation class by calling the
* JspFactory.getPageContext() method, and is released by calling
* JspFactory.releasePageContext().
*
*
An example of how PageContext, JspFactory, and other classes can be
* used within a JSP Page Implementation object is given elsewhere.
*
*
* The PageContext provides a number of facilities to the page/component
* author and page implementor, including:
*
* - a single API to manage the various scoped namespaces
*
- a number of convenience API's to access various public objects
*
- a mechanism to obtain the JspWriter for output
*
- a mechanism to manage session usage by the page
*
- a mechanism to expose page directive attributes to the scripting
* environment
*
- mechanisms to forward or include the current request to other active
* components in the application
*
- a mechanism to handle errorpage exception processing
*
*
* Methods Intended for Container Generated Code
*
Some methods are intended to be used by the code generated by the
* container, not by code written by JSP page authors, or JSP tag library
* authors.
*
The methods supporting lifecycle are initialize()
* and release()
*
*
* The following methods enable the management of nested JspWriter
* streams to implement Tag Extensions: pushBody()
*
*
Methods Intended for JSP authors
*
* The following methods provide convenient access to implicit objects:
* getException(), getPage()
* getRequest(), getResponse(),
* getSession(), getServletConfig()
* and getServletContext().
*
*
* The following methods provide support for forwarding, inclusion
* and error handling:
* forward(), include(),
* and handlePageException().
