So how's ServletContext different from all this then?
This is a really important concept to understand in web apps. There are a number of scopes available:
page - available only within the current JSP page
request - available during a single request processing
session - available to all JSPs/servlets in same session
application (aka servlet context) - available across all JSPs/servlets in the same web application
