GetPageContext()

History

New in ColdFusion MX: This function is new.

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 name parameter:

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>>.
