Interface WindowContext

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface WindowContext
extends Serializable

We support the general notion of multiple 'windows' That might be different parallel edit pages in a desktop application (think about different open documents in an editor) or multiple browser tabs in a web application.

For web applications each browser tab or window will be represented by an own WindowContext slice. All those WindowContext slices will be held in the users servlet session as @SessionScoped bean.

Every WindowContext is uniquely identified via a 'windowId' inside the current Session. Each Thread is associated with at most one single windowId at a time. The WindowContext is the interface which allows resolving the current windowId associated with this very Thread.
