Hi
The main advantange of pageContext over other implicit objects like session , request , response etc. they look for asked attributes in their respect only.
If you are looking for an attribute in pageContext , the container will look for that attribute in request , seesion & application scope .
It has a method
<code> pageContext.findAtrribute(
String name) </code>
through which you can find a particular attribute.
Hope this clears the doubt .If you are stil not clear just let us know.
