/**
 * <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>.
