/**
 * <p>
 * <code>JspContext</code> 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.
 * <p>
 * The JspContext 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 mechanism to obtain the JspWriter for output
 * <li>a mechanism to expose page directive attributes to the 
 *     scripting environment
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p><B>Methods Intended for Container Generated Code</B>
 * <p>
 * The following methods enable the <B>management of nested</B> JspWriter 
 * streams to implement Tag Extensions: <code>pushBody()</code> and
 * <code>popBody()</code>
 *
 * <p><B>Methods Intended for JSP authors</B>
 * <p>
 * Some methods provide <B>uniform access</B> 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:
 * <code>setAttribute()</code>,  <code>getAttribute()</code>,
 * <code>findAttribute()</code>,  <code>removeAttribute()</code>,
 * <code>getAttributesScope()</code> and 
 * <code>getAttributeNamesInScope()</code>.
 * 
 * <p>
 * The following methods provide <B>convenient access</B> to implicit objects:
 * <code>getOut()</code>
 *
 * <p>
 * The following methods provide <B>programmatic access</b> to the 
 * Expression Language evaluator:
 * <code>getExpressionEvaluator()</code>, <code>getVariableResolver()</code>
 *
 * @since JSP 2.0
