Method Detail

put

void put(String key,
         String val)

Put a context value (the val parameter) as identified with the key parameter into the current thread's context map. The key parameter cannot be null. The code>val parameter can be null only if the underlying implementation supports it.

If the current thread does not have a context map it is created as a side effect of this call.

get

String get(String key)

Get the context identified by the key parameter. The key parameter cannot be null.

Returns:

the string value identified by the key parameter.

remove

void remove(String key)

Remove the the context identified by the key parameter. The key parameter cannot be null.

This method does nothing if there is no previous value associated with key.

clear

void clear()

getCopyOfContextMap

Map<String,String> getCopyOfContextMap()

Return a copy of the current thread's context map, with keys and values of type String. Returned value may be null.

Returns:

A copy of the current thread's context map. May be null.
