Class MessageContext

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.axis.MessageContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

MessageContext, SOAPMessageContext

public class MessageContext

extends java.lang.Object

implements SOAPMessageContext

A MessageContext is the Axis implementation of the javax SOAPMessageContext class, and is core to message processing in handlers and other parts of the system. This class also contains constants for accessing some well-known properties. Using a hierarchical namespace is strongly suggested in order to lower the chance for conflicts. (These constants should be viewed as an explicit list of well known and widely used context keys, there's nothing wrong with directly using the key strings. This is the reason for the hierarchical constant namespace. Actually I think we might just list the keys in the docs and provide no such constants since they create yet another namespace, but we'd have no compile-time checks then. Whaddya think? - todo by Jacek)
