Package net.sf.basedb.clients.web.extensions

Class JspContext

java.lang.Object
net.sf.basedb.util.extensions.ClientContext
net.sf.basedb.clients.web.extensions.JspContext
public class JspContext extends ClientContext
Context object for the web application. Instances of this class are always used for passing client context information to web extensions. This means that it is always safe to cast the client context to this class in the ActionFactory.prepareContext(InvokationContext) and ActionFactory.getActions(InvokationContext) methods and other methods that has a context parameter. 
@Override
public boolean prepareContext(InvokationContext context) 
{
        JspContext jspContext = (JspContext)context.getClientContext();
        jspContext.addStylesheet("/base/include/styles/mystylesheet.css");
        // Do other things
        return true;
}

This context exposes the underlying JSP PageContext, which can be used to get information about the current request among other things. Render factories usually needs access to the response output stream, getOut(), so that renderers can write the generated HTML to the response.
