Interface IContext

public interface IContext
Defines the context interface. The context defines the following aspects of requests:
  • Which session the request belongs to.
  • Which user executes the request and what roles that user has.
  • What data is available during the request.
  • Security: which attributes and associations are readable.
  • Security: which attributes and associations are writable.
  • How transactions are handled.
  • How data is internationalized (=localized).
