Do such methods exist?

[Rich Smyth]

I wrote two trivial convenience methods to use in my servlets. I'm wondering now if they already exist. I can't find anything similar in the Servlet API doc.
1) getAttributeFromAnyScope(String name) searches
for the attribute in request scope then in session scope then in application scope. Returns the first one it finds.
2) getAtttributeInScope(String name, String scope) returns the attribute from the specified scope.

i dont thinkso - jsp offers those kind of methods but not servlets.
