  - ### forward

    public void forward(String relativeUrlPath) throws ServletException, IOException
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.jsp.PageContext`

    This method is used to re-direct, or "forward" the current ServletRequest and ServletResponse to another active component in the application.

    If the relativeUrlPath begins with a "/" then the URL specified is calculated relative to the DOCROOT of the `ServletContext` for this JSP. If the path does not begin with a "/" then the URL specified is calculated relative to the URL of the request that was mapped to the calling JSP.

    It is only valid to call this method from a `Thread` executing within a `_jspService(...)` method of a JSP.

    Once this method has been called successfully, it is illegal for the calling `Thread` to attempt to modify the `ServletResponse` object. Any such attempt to do so, shall result in undefined behavior. Typically, callers immediately return from `_jspService(...)` after calling this method.

    Specified by:
      `forward` in class `PageContext`
    Parameters:
      `relativeUrlPath` - specifies the relative URL path to the target resource as described above
    Throws:
      `ServletException` - if the page that was forwarded to throws a ServletException
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurred while forwarding

  - ### include

    public void include(String relativeUrlPath) throws ServletException, IOException
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.jsp.PageContext`

    Causes the resource specified to be processed as part of the current ServletRequest and ServletResponse being processed by the calling Thread. The output of the target resources processing of the request is written directly to the ServletResponse output stream.

    The current JspWriter "out" for this JSP is flushed as a side-effect of this call, prior to processing the include.

    If the relativeUrlPath begins with a "/" then the URL specified is calculated relative to the DOCROOT of the `ServletContext` for this JSP. If the path does not begin with a "/" then the URL specified is calculated relative to the URL of the request that was mapped to the calling JSP.

    It is only valid to call this method from a `Thread` executing within a `_jspService(...)` method of a JSP.

    Specified by:
      `include` in class `PageContext`
    Parameters:
      `relativeUrlPath` - specifies the relative URL path to the target resource to be included
    Throws:
      `ServletException` - if the page that was forwarded to throws a ServletException
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurred while forwarding

  - ### include

    public void include(String relativeUrlPath, boolean flush) throws ServletException, IOException
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.jsp.PageContext`

    Causes the resource specified to be processed as part of the current ServletRequest and ServletResponse being processed by the calling Thread. The output of the target resources processing of the request is written directly to the current JspWriter returned by a call to getOut().

    If flush is true, The current JspWriter "out" for this JSP is flushed as a side-effect of this call, prior to processing the include. Otherwise, the JspWriter "out" is not flushed.

    If the relativeUrlPath begins with a "/" then the URL specified is calculated relative to the DOCROOT of the `ServletContext` for this JSP. If the path does not begin with a "/" then the URL specified is calculated relative to the URL of the request that was mapped to the calling JSP.

    It is only valid to call this method from a `Thread` executing within a `_jspService(...)` method of a JSP.

    Specified by:
      `include` in class `PageContext`
    Parameters:
      `relativeUrlPath` - specifies the relative URL path to the target resource to be included
      `flush` - True if the JspWriter is to be flushed before the include, or false if not.
    Throws:
      `ServletException` - if the page that was forwarded to throws a ServletException
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurred while forwarding

  - ### getVariableResolver

    Overrides:
      `pushBody` in class `PageContext`
    Returns:
      the new BodyContent

  - ### pushBody

    public JspWriter pushBody(Writer writer)
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.jsp.JspContext`
    Return a new JspWriter object that sends output to the provided Writer. Saves the current "out" JspWriter, and updates the value of the "out" attribute in the page scope attribute namespace of the JspContext.

    The returned JspWriter must implement all methods and behave as though it were unbuffered. More specifically:

    - clear() must throw an IOException
    - clearBuffer() does nothing
    - getBufferSize() always returns 0
    - getRemaining() always returns 0
    Overrides:
      `pushBody` in class `JspContext`
    Parameters:
      `writer` - The Writer for the returned JspWriter to send output to.
    Returns:
      a new JspWriter that writes to the given Writer.

    Returns:
      A valid instance of an ExpressionEvaluator.

  - ### handlePageException

    public void handlePageException(Exception ex) throws IOException, ServletException
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.jsp.PageContext`

    This method is intended to process an unhandled 'page' level exception by forwarding the exception to the specified error page for this JSP. If forwarding is not possible (for example because the response has already been committed), an implementation dependent mechanism should be used to invoke the error page (e.g. "including" the error page instead).

    If no error page is defined in the page, the exception should be rethrown so that the standard servlet error handling takes over.

    A JSP implementation class shall typically clean up any local state prior to invoking this and will return immediately thereafter. It is illegal to generate any output to the client, or to modify any ServletResponse state after invoking this call.

    This method is kept for backwards compatibility reasons. Newly generated code should use PageContext.handlePageException(Throwable).

    Specified by:
      `handlePageException` in class `PageContext`
    Parameters:
      `ex` - the exception to be handled
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurred while invoking the error page
      `ServletException` - if an error occurs while invoking the error page
    See Also:
      - `PageContext.handlePageException(Throwable)`

  - ### handlePageException

    public void handlePageException(Throwable t) throws IOException, ServletException
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.jsp.PageContext`

    This method is intended to process an unhandled 'page' level exception by forwarding the exception to the specified error page for this JSP. If forwarding is not possible (for example because the response has already been committed), an implementation dependent mechanism should be used to invoke the error page (e.g. "including" the error page instead).

    If no error page is defined in the page, the exception should be rethrown so that the standard servlet error handling takes over.

    This method is intended to process an unhandled "page" level exception by redirecting the exception to either the specified error page for this JSP, or if none was specified, to perform some implementation dependent action.

    A JSP implementation class shall typically clean up any local state prior to invoking this and will return immediately thereafter. It is illegal to generate any output to the client, or to modify any ServletResponse state after invoking this call.

    Specified by:
      `handlePageException` in class `PageContext`
    Parameters:
      `t` - the throwable to be handled
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurred while invoking the error page
