pageContext is null?

["McRobb, John" <Jo...@tescopf.com>]

I am writing a custom Tag:

public class InRoleTag extends ConditionalTagBase 

I try and get the roles but it appears that the pageContext is null

ServletRequest req = null;
        if (pageContext != null) {
          req = pageContext.getRequest();
        }
        else
          System.out.println("page Context was null");
          
        if (req != null) {
           Enumeration e = req.getAttributeNames();
           while(e.hasMoreElements())
              System.out.println(e.nextElement().toString());
        }
        else
           System.out.println("request was null");
        
        if (config == null) { // Backwards compatibility hack
            config = (ApplicationConfig)
                pageContext.getServletContext().getAttribute
                (Action.APPLICATION_KEY);
        }

I got a null pointer exception previously and with the trace above it is
down to the pageConext being null.
It's on WebSphere 4.04 Single Server Edition.

Thanks

John
