Little Information required about page and pagecontext

hi i am familiar with request,session and application(similar to context) scope in a jsp but i am not familiar with the page scope could anyone please give me some idea about page and pagexontext ?? what are they used for ??

page is a buitlin scripting variable that is no longer exposed by the EL. it wasn;t even used much in scriptlets.

pageContext (not pagecontext -- case counts!) is a scope that is limited to the current page. Unlike request scope, it isn;t shared across forwards or includes.

when would you use pageContext.setAttribute() ?? and why would you want to use it ??
what is the difference between page and pagecontext
