      • _pageManager

        protected PageManager _pageManager
        Deprecated.
        Get the pageManager from AppContext.getPageManager() or directly from the ConfigurationFilesCache.
        This used to be the instance of the PageManager used by this Controller. The Controller would initialized this instance in the initializeApp method, keep a reference and then assign it to the AppContext on every request.

        Now all configuration files are cached by the ConfigurationFilesCache, so if you need to access the page config, you can get a reference (based on the file path) from this Cache. The AppContextImpl will automatically try to get the PageManager from the Cache if a PageManager is not explicitly set.

      • _globalAppContext

        protected AppContext _globalAppContext

      • _messagesManager

        protected MessagesManager _messagesManager
