You've got a couple of choices:
* Use the findAttribute() method instead of getAttribute(), which looks in
progressively larger scopes until it locates the bean.
* Explicitly declare which scope you want with a second argument:
BeanName log = (BeanName) pageContext.getAttribute("BeanName",
PageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE);
See the Javadocs for PageContext for more information.
