```
public DefinitionContext(IContainer contain)
```
    Constructor. Uses the containing context to establish the hierarchy for resolving namespaces and class mappings.
    
    Parameters:
    
    contain - containing binding definition component
- Method Detail
  - addNamespace
```
public void addNamespace(NamespaceDefinition def)
```
    Add namespace to set defined at this level. If the new namespace conflicts with an existing namespace at this level (in terms of default usage or prefix) this throws an exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    def - namespace definition to be added (duplicates ignored)
  - addImpliedNamespace
```
public void addImpliedNamespace(NamespaceDefinition def)
```
    Add namespace declaration to set defined at this level. This method treats all namespaces as though they were declared with default="none". If the new namespace prefix conflicts with an existing namespace this throws an exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    def - namespace definition to be added (duplicates ignored)
  - addMapping
```
public void addMapping(IMapping def)
                throws org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException
```
    Add class mapping to set defined at this level. If the new mapping conflicts with an existing one at this level it throws an exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    def - mapping definition to be added
    
    Throws:
    
    org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException - on mapping definition conflict
  - addNamedStructure
```
public void addNamedStructure(String name,
                              IComponent comp)
                       throws org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException
```
    Add named structure component to set defined at this level. If the name conflicts with an existing one at this level it throws an exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - component name to be set
    
    comp - named component
    
    Throws:
    
    org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException - on mapping definition conflict
  - getDefaultURI
```
public String getDefaultURI(boolean attr)
```
    Get the default namespace URI for a contained name. Elements and attributes are treated separately, since namespace handling differs between the two.
    
    Parameters:
    
    attr - flag for attribute name
    
    Returns:
    
    default namespace URI, or null if none
  - getDefaultIndex
```
public int getDefaultIndex(boolean attr)
```
    Get the default namespace index for a contained name. Elements and attributes are treated separately, since namespace handling differs between the two.
    
    Parameters:
    
    attr - flag for attribute name
    
    Returns:
    
    default namespace index
  - getNamespaceIndex
```

    mb - method builder for generated code
  - generateCode
```
public void generateCode(boolean verbose,
                         boolean force)
                  throws org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException
```
    Generate code. Executes code generation for each top-level mapping defined in this binding, which in turn propagates the code generation all the way down.
    
    Parameters:
    
    verbose - flag for verbose output
    
    force - create marshaller/unmarshaller even for abstract non-base mappings flag
    
    Throws:
    
    org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException - if error in transformation
  - linkMappings
```
public void linkMappings()
                  throws org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException
```
    Links extension mappings to their base mappings. This must be done before the more general linking step in order to determine which abstract mappings are standalone and which are extended by other mappings
    
    Throws:
    
    org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException - if error in linking
  - setLinkages
```
public void setLinkages()
                 throws org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException
```
    Set linkages between binding components. This is called after all the basic information has been set up. All linkage to higher level components should be done by this method, in order to prevent problems due to the order of definitions between components. For the definition context this calls the same method on all mappings defined in this context.
    
    Throws:
    
    org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException - if error in configuration
  - print
```
public void print(int depth)
```
