PageContext is a subclass of JSP Context. It is used to get/store attributes from all scopes, get handle to the writer, and few other functions.

One ServletContext is defined for one web application per JVM. It is primarily used to hold application level attributes.

Thanks Mr. Kumaraswamy.
i was confused only because PageContext is extending JspContext,so i thought that it will be similar to ServletContext.

Thanks,
