NGContext

java.lang.Object
- com.martiansoftware.nailgun.NGContext

```
public class NGContext
extends java.lang.Object
```
Provides quite a bit of potentially useful information to classes specifically written for NailGun. The NailGun server itself, its AliasManager, the remote client's environment variables, and other information is available via this class. For all intents and purposes, the NGContext represents a single connection from a NailGun client.
If a class is written with a
```
 public static void nailMain(NGContext context)
 
```
method, that method will be called by NailGun instead of the traditional main(String[]) method normally used for programs. A fully populated NGContext object will then be provided to nailMain().

  - getCommand
```
public java.lang.String getCommand()
```
    Returns the command that was issued by the client (either an alias or the name of a class). This allows multiple aliases to point to the same class but result in different behaviors.
    
    Returns:
    
    the command issued by the client
  - getWorkingDirectory
```
public java.lang.String getWorkingDirectory()
```
    Returns the current working directory of the client, as reported by the client. This is a String that will use the client's File.separator ('/' or '\'), which may differ from the separator on the server.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current working directory of the client
  - setArgs
```
public void setArgs(java.lang.String[] args)
```
  - getEnv
```
public java.util.Properties getEnv()
```
    Returns a java.util.Properties object containing a copy of the client's environment variables

    the command line arguments for the command implementation (nail) on the server.
  - getNGServer
```
public NGServer getNGServer()

    the NGServer that accepted this connection
  - exit
```
public void exit(int exitCode)
```
    Sends an exit command with the specified exit code to the client. The client will exit immediately with the specified exit code; you probably want to return from nailMain immediately after calling this.

    exitCode - the exit code with which the client should exit
  - getPort
```
public int getPort()
```
    Returns the port on the client connected to the NailGun server.
    
    Returns:
    
    the port on the client connected to the NailGun server.
  - assertLoopbackClient
```
public void assertLoopbackClient()
```
    Throws a java.lang.SecurityException if the client is not connected via the loopback address.
  - assertLocalClient
```
public void assertLocalClient()
```
    Throws a java.lang.SecurityException if the client is not connected from the local machine.
  - isClientConnected
```
public boolean isClientConnected()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if client is connected, false if a client exit has been detected.
  - addClientListener
```
public void addClientListener(NGClientListener listener)

    listener - the NGClientListener to no longer be notified of client events.

public void removeAllClientListeners()
```
    Do not notify about client exit
  - addHeartbeatListener
```
public void addHeartbeatListener(NGHeartbeatListener listener)
```

    listener - the NGHeartbeatListener to be notified of client events.
  - removeHeartbeatListener
