Hi Paul, I have added comments on the JIRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-1200)
Brief summary - page, pageContext, and config are not supported by groovlets but for the most parts they would be redundant and/or not very useful since, 1. config pulls initialization config for a specific JSP (or Servlet) from the web.xml - and we do not define declare individual groovlets in the web.xml this feature may not make sense. 2. page and pageContext - page is not useful as-is as it is literally java.lang.Object reference referring to "this" JSP. pageContext is more useful and used heavily when working with Tag Libraries. However since we don't support tag libraries in groovlets this feature may not be very useful. 3. All other features supported by config, page and pageContext can work worked around by using the other implicit objects supported by groovlets. Conclusion: In the context of groovlets there is little reason to miss these 3 objects, HOWEVER, all 3 are easy to incorporate and make groovlet compatible with the Implicit Object requirement of the JSP Specification v2.3. Please let me know if you need any more info and how you would like me to proceed. Thank you.
