Why PageContext.setAttribute()???

843838Sep 21 2005 — edited Sep 21 2005
Hi,

Why we are using PageContext.setAttribute(), in place of request or session??? In a tagHandler class, why we have access only to pageContext Object rather than other implicit Object??? Where u dont have to declare the pageContext object to use it.
I know that by using the pageContext Object we can get each & every implicit Object that is Ok. Where it also provides u information about the context of a page.That is also Ok.
But how come without declaring it in the Tag Handler class still u can straight away call it like:-

JspWriter jw= pageContext.getOut();

Is the pageContext Object my default is accessible in ur TagHandler?? Where other implicit Object we need to declare explicitly.
Is it the right assumption?? Pls. do correct me if i am wrong??


Thanks,

The database and XFS are not certified together. It should work, but if you ever have a problem you are on your own. Oracle's database support group can say "not our problem, because we don't support XFS" and Oracle's Linux support group can say "not our problem, because we don't support the database".

Does this matter? Probably not, as you are using VMware, which is not certified no matter what file system you use. The aphorism "might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb" springs to mind.

Hi Alex,

i guess all your questions are answered in MOS ID #1632127.1. We also discussed this on Twitter some time ago.

> Anybody using xfs for Oracle 12c databases? Any experience with support problems due to this stack?

Yes, several of my clients are running 11g and 12c on XFS (OEL 6 and 7). No experience with support, because they had no issue until yet - just better I/O performance (in contrast to EXT)

Quoting Support Note 1304727.1

  • XFS - XFS is supported when using OL7 or RHEL 7. Oracle has not tested XFS with earlier versions of OL or RHEL.

FYI - Oracle Support's response to my SR: "As per the certification team, XFS with OL7 is supported for database."

This fact is also "kind of" expressed in the note pointed to by earlier in the thread: https://support.oracle.com/rs?type=doc&id=1304727.1

I am not sure why it has to be such a pain to get a clear, unambiguous answer to a question like this.

Thanks.
