/**
* <p>
* PageContext extends JspContext to provide useful context information for
* when JSP technology is used in a Servlet environment.
* <p>
* 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.
*
* <p> The <code> PageContext </code> 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().
*
* <p> An example of how PageContext, JspFactory, and other classes can be
* used within a JSP Page Implementation object is given elsewhere.
*
* <p>
* The PageContext provides a number of facilities to the page/component
* author and page implementor, including:
* <ul>
* <li>a single API to manage the various scoped namespaces
* <li>a number of convenience API's to access various public objects
* <li>a mechanism to obtain the JspWriter for output
* <li>a mechanism to manage session usage by the page
* <li>a mechanism to expose page directive attributes to the scripting
* environment
* <li>mechanisms to forward or include the current request to other active
* components in the application
* <li>a mechanism to handle errorpage exception processing
* </ul>
*
* <p><B>Methods Intended for Container Generated Code</B>
* <p>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.
* <p>The methods supporting <B>lifecycle</B> are <code>initialize()</code>
* and <code>release()</code>
*
* <p>
* The following methods enable the <B>management of nested</B> JspWriter
* streams to implement Tag Extensions: <code>pushBody()</code>
*
* <p><B>Methods Intended for JSP authors</B>
* <p>
* The following methods provide <B>convenient access</B> to implicit objects:
* <code>getException()</code>, <code>getPage()</code>
* <code>getRequest()</code>, <code>getResponse()</code>,
* <code>getSession()</code>, <code>getServletConfig()</code>
* and <code>getServletContext()</code>.
*
* <p>
* The following methods provide support for <B>forwarding, inclusion
* and error handling</B>:
* <code>forward()</code>, <code>include()</code>,
* and <code>handlePageException()</code>.
