public interface IContextFactory

Factory for constructing WebDAV contexts.

The context corresponds to the header portion of a WebDAV request or response.

Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Method Detail

newContext

IContext newContext()
Create a new empty context.

Returns:
the new empty Context.

newContext

IContext newContext(IContext baseContext)
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).

Parameters:
baseContext - the default values for the new context.
Returns:
the new wrapping Context.
