BeanContext

com.microstrategy.web.beans.BeanContext
Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

The BeanContext interface provides context information for a WebComponent or a Transformable, such as StyleCatalog and MessagesManager etc. A single instance of a BeanContext object can be shared with many WebComponent or Transformable instances.

A BeanContext object can be instantiated from WebBeanFactory. You can also retrieve a BeanContext object from a Transformable object or a WebComponent object.

If a web application needs more context information, try to extend this interface to provide the functionalities required by the web application. For example, MicroStrategy Web has a AppContext sub-interface to provide application WebComponent more information such as Preferences.
