I think you mean that its not supposed to be implementation dependent, which is
correct. However, some vendors did not strictly
conform with the specification until recently... so depending on what vendor
implementation you had, you may or may not have those
all of these variables. For example, the spec calls for an implicit variable called
"session"... if you bought JRun 6 months ago
(before JRun 3.0 came out), and used JSP 0.92, you would not have an implicit
"session" variable implemented for you... in this
case, you would have an upper-case "Session" implicit variable defined for you (which
is deiffent than "session"). Most vendors
coming out with JSP 1.1 implementations have much stricter conformance of the spec,
but these little inconsistencies are just
something to be aware of if you are working with an older version of a vendor JSP
product.
