When JSPs are created they have no relationship to a request and its subsequent response. Thus, they need a "context" to tie the request and response to themselves. The Servlet engine does this by providing a PageContext object. Since CFMs -- and unfortunately CFCs -- are just specialized JSPs they require a PageContext to be associated with a request and response. Since it is possible to persist CFC instances across requests using the provided shared memory scopes, CFC instances can be tied to the wrong PageContext.
