Class ExecutionContext

java.lang.Object

com.vmware.vapi.core.ExecutionContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ExecutionContext
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

The ExecutionContext class provides information about the execution of an API method invocation.

It consists of

1. out-of-band context data provided by client and passed along with the invocation/request
2. authentication/security context and data
3. runtime details, specific to the request being processed

Field Detail

EMPTY

public static final ExecutionContext EMPTY

Empty context

Constructor Detail

ExecutionContext

public ExecutionContext()

Default constructor. Convenience one for creating an empty ExecutionContext.

Use EMPTY when distinct instance is not required.

ExecutionContext

public ExecutionContext(ExecutionContext.SecurityContext securityContext)

Do not use this constructor to recreate ExecutionContext instances with modified parameters. Leverage the ExecutionContext.Builder class instead.

Parameters:

securityContext - may be null

ExecutionContext

public ExecutionContext(ExecutionContext.ApplicationData wireData,
                        ExecutionContext.SecurityContext securityContext)

Do not use this constructor to recreate ExecutionContext instances with modified parameters. Leverage the ExecutionContext.Builder class instead.

Parameters:

wireData - may be null

securityContext - may be null

ExecutionContext

public ExecutionContext(ExecutionContext.ApplicationData wireData,
                        ExecutionContext.SecurityContext securityContext,
                        ExecutionContext.RuntimeData runtimeData)

Do not use this constructor to recreate ExecutionContext instances with modified parameters. Leverage the ExecutionContext.Builder class instead.

Parameters:

wireData - may be null

securityContext - may be null

runtimeData - may be null

Method Detail

withApplicationData

public ExecutionContext withApplicationData(ExecutionContext.ApplicationData appData)
