Class RequestContext

java.lang.Object
  org.spicefactory.pimento.context.RequestContext

public class RequestContext
extends Object

The context for a single request. Primarily used internally by PhaseListener implementations that manage transactions and the persistence context. Also provides access to the active IoContext instance for classes that manage conversion from and to entity snapshots.

RequestContext instances will be associated with the thread of the request and can be retrieved with the static getCurrentInstance method.
