Usage
The ColdFusion MX PageContext class is a wrapper class for the Java PageContext object that can
resolve scopes and perform case-insensitive variable lookups.
The PageContext object exposes fields and methods that can be useful in J2EE integration. It
includes the include and forward methods that provide the equivalent of the corresponding
standard JSP tags. You use these methods to call JSP pages and servlets. For example, you use the
following code in CFScript to include the JSP page hello.jsp and pass it a
GetPageContext().include("hello.jsp?name=Bobby"); ===
For more information, see your Java Server Pages (JSP) documentation).
Example
<!--- this example shows using the page context to set a page
variable and access the language of the current locale --->
<cfset pc = GetPageContext()>
<cfset pc.setAttribute("name","John Doe")>
<cfoutput>name: #variables.name#<br></cfoutput>
<cfoutput>Language of the current locale is
#pc.getRequest().getLocale().getDisplayLanguage()#</cfoutput>>.
