Grails: What is the difference between using actionName and pageScope.actionName inside taglibs?

Question

In my company's codebase I'm seeing pageScope.actionName being used. Is it safe to droppageScope?

Update:

I am interested in knowing whether actionName is a late addition to the framework that makes pageScope.actionName obsolete.

Update 2:

Here is how it is used in one taglib:

def url = "/${pageScope.controllerName}/${attrs.action}"

Answer 1

pageScope. As for the usage in your company code, I guess it depends on how long ago it was written. Referring to docs in 2010 like: grails_pagescope_variable_in_gsps_and_taglibraries and overriding-plugin-templates-in-grails-application there are a few more around people were using it then, can't comment on if it was essential back then.
