Interface Context

All Superinterfaces:
Context, Map
All Known Subinterfaces:
SystemContext, ThreadDependentSystemContext, UserContext, WebContext
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractSystemContext, JCRSessionPerThreadSystemContext, SingleJCRSessionSystemContext, UserContextImpl, WebContextImpl

public interface Context
extends Context

This interface defines all the methods which should be implemented by any configured magnolia context. Implementing class should never be accessible directly but only via MgnlContext static methods which work on a local (Thread) copy of the implementation.
