  • Method Details

    • getRequestMap

      Map<String,Object> getRequestMap()
      Get the current request map.
      Returns:
      the request map.
    • getSessionMap

      Map<String,Object> getSessionMap(boolean create)

      Get the current session map.

      A BoundRequest may be backed by a data store that only creates sessions on demand. It is recommended that if the session is not created on demand, or that the session has already been created (but is not required by this access) that the session is returned as it allows the conversation context to work more efficiently.

      Parameters:
      create - if true, then a session must be created
      Returns:
      the session map; null may be returned if create is false
