PageContext - Does it "actually" exists?

[Atul Sawant]

Oi!

Could someone please explain me the below given statement....

Technically, pageContext can also store attributes in any scope using setAttribute(name, object, scope) method. But the objects thus stored are actually not stored in pageContext. pageContext just provides a convenient method to store the objects in actual scopes such as application, session.

So, which is default scope is considered to set an attribute using a PageContext.setAttribute(String name) method?

Thanks for your answers!

You mean setAttribute(String name,Object value) ? It's page scope.

Well, I guess it's just saying that if you use a method in the pageContext to store something in the HttpSession, it gets stored in the HttpSession, not the pageContext.

Just trying to explain some of the helper methods in the pageContext.

@Satou - hello there...hope you doing fine.

I meant for PageContext.setAttribute(String name).

@Cameron - I guess you meant for a method which is something like this...

PageContext.setAttribute("person", person, Session_Scope), correct?
