Interface IThreadContext

All Known Implementing Classes:

ThreadContext

public interface IThreadContext

This interface describes the functionality in a thread context. Thread contexts exist as a place to park objects that should exist at most once per thread. While there is no guarantee that this would be enforced, the semantics don't generally fail with multiple instances, but they do become inefficient. But, in any case, an IThreadContext object should NEVER be shared among threads!!!
