Interface RequestStorageWrite

All Superinterfaces:

RequestStorage

public interface RequestStorageWrite
extends RequestStorage

This allows write access to values which are stored in the current request thread, these values are inaccessible outside of a request and will be destroyed when the thread ends
This also "magically" exposes all the values in the request (attributes and params) as if they were stored in the map as well, if there are conflicts then locally stored data always wins over data from the request
Standard reserved keys have values that are always available:

• _locale : Locale
• _requestEntityReference : String
• _requestActive : [true,false]
• _requestOrigin : ['REST','EXTERNAL','INTERNAL']
