Tagfiles and tags get a jspcontext from the container at runtime. Tags get directly a normal pagecontext reference from the current jsp page. TagFiles instead get a wrapper around the pagecontext that wraps all set/get/findAttribute for the page scope to a local set of stored attributes. When i declare an attribute in jsp with page scope, i never see it in a tag file, but i see it in a 'normal' tag.
Interesting files: org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspContextWrapper -> see getAttribute(String)/getAttribute(String/int) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Generator -> search for setJspContext Is there a reason why, i don't know?
