pageContext

The context for the JSP page. Provides access to various objects, including servletContext, session, request, and response.

pageScope

Maps page-scoped variable names to their values.

requestScope

Maps request-scoped variable names to their values.

sessionScope

Maps session-scoped variable names to their values.

applicationScope

Maps application-scoped variable names to their values.

param

Maps a request parameter to a single String parameter value (obtained by calling ServletReqwuest.getParameter(String name)).

paramValues

Maps a request parameter name to an array of String values for that parameter name (obtained by calling ServletRequest.getParameterValues(String name)).

header

Maps a request header name to a single String header value (obtained by calling ServletRequest.getHeader(String name)).

headerValues

Maps a request header name to an array of String values for that header (obtained by calling ServletRequest.getHeaders(String)).

cookie

Maps a cookie name to a single Cookie object. Cookies are retrieved according to the semantics of HttpServletRequest.getCookies(). If same name is shared by multiple cookies, an implementation must use the first encountered in the array of Cookie objects returned by the getCookies() method. However, the ordering of cookies currently unsspecified in the Servlet specification.

initParam

Maps a context initialization parameter name to a String parameter value (obtained by calling ServletContext.getInitparameter(String name)).
