Overview | Accesses the list of context strings that is sent with a DII request. |
Original class | CORBA::Request |
Intended Usage
The contexts method is used by a client application to access the list of context strings that are sent with a Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII) request, as optionally input to the CORBA::Object::_create_request method. The context list is specified using a CORBA::ContextList object and is used to improve performance. When invoking a request without an associated ContextList object, the ORB looks up context infomation in the Interface Repository. For additional information, see the ContextList class description.
