Method Detail

newContext

public IContext newContext()

Description copied from interface: IContextFactory

Create a new empty context.

Specified by:

newContext in interface IContextFactory

Returns:

the new empty Context.

newContext

public IContext newContext(IContext baseContext)

Description copied from interface: IContextFactory

Creates a new context based on the given context.

The newly created context acts like an acetate layer over the base context: any changes made to the new context are confined to that layer and do not affect the base context; but changes to the base context show through to the new context unless masked by another change made to the new context (c.f. properties).

Specified by:

newContext in interface IContextFactory

Parameters:

baseContext - the default values for the new context.

Returns:

the new wrapping Context.

setDefaults

public void setDefaults(IContext defaultValues)

Set the default values on the factory. All contexts created by this factory will have these defaults.

Parameters:

defaultValues - the default values
