/**
* Context information for expression evaluation.
*
* <p>To evaluate an {@link Expression}, an <code>ELContext</code> must be
* provided. The <code>ELContext</code> holds:
* <ul>
* <li>a reference to the base {@link ELResolver} that will be consulted
* to resolve model objects and their properties</li>
* <li>a reference to {@link FunctionMapper} that will be used
* to resolve EL Functions.
* <li>a reference to {@link VariableMapper} that will be used
* to resolve EL Variables.
* <li>a collection of all the relevant context objects for use by
* <code>ELResolver</code>s</li>
* <li>state information during the evaluation of an expression, such as
* whether a property has been resolved yet</li>
* </ul></p>
*
* <p>The collection of context objects is necessary because each
* <code>ELResolver</code> may need access to a different context object.
* For example, JSP and Faces resolvers need access to a
* {@link javax.servlet.jsp.JspContext} and a
* {@link javax.faces.context.FacesContext}, respectively.</p>
*
* <p>Creation of <code>ELContext</code> objects is controlled through
* the underlying technology. For example, in JSP the
* <code>JspContext.getELContext()</code> factory method is used.
* Some technologies provide the ability to add an {@link ELContextListener}
* so that applications and frameworks can ensure their own context objects
* are attached to any newly created <code>ELContext</code>.</p>
*
* <p>Because it stores state during expression evaluation, an
* <code>ELContext</code> object is not thread-safe. Care should be taken
* to never share an <code>ELContext</code> instance between two or more
* threads.</p>
*
* @see ELContextListener
* @see ELContextEvent
* @see ELResolver
* @see FunctionMapper
* @see VariableMapper
* @see javax.servlet.jsp.JspContext
* @since JSP 2.1
