Interface ECHOContext

All Superinterfaces:

org.w3c.dom.Element, org.w3c.dom.Node

All Known Implementing Classes:

ECHOContextImpl

public interface ECHOContext

extends org.w3c.dom.Element

provides context information for an ECHO processor ECHOContext objects provide the ECHO processor the ability to pass parameters to nested ECHO request handlers ECHOContext objects may contain a handle to a "parent" context. If the requested key is not found in the requested context, it will attempt to find it in the parent context
