 * The JspFactory is an abstract class that defines a number of factory
 * methods available to a JSP page at runtime for the purposes of creating
 * instances of various interfaces and classes used to support the JSP 
 * implementation.
 * <p>
 * A conformant JSP Engine implementation will, during it's initialization
 * instantiate an implementation dependent subclass of this class, and make 
 * it globally available for use by JSP implementation classes by registering
 * the instance created with this class via the
 * static <code> setDefaultFactory() </code> method.
 * <p>
 * The only implementation-dependent classes that can be created from the
 * factory are:
 *   PageContext,
 *   JspEngineInfo, and
 *   JspApplicationContext.
 * <p>
 * With the exception of JspApplicationContext,
 * JspFactory objects should not be used by JSP application developers.
