- pagecontext: Encapsulates implementation-dependent features as a PageContext; has page scope.
- application: Represents the ServletContext obtained from servlet configuration object; has application scope.
- out: This is an instance of JspWriter that writes into the output stream; has page scope.
- config: Represents the ServletConfig object for the JSP; has page scope.
