Class ExternalContextFactory

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FacesWrapper<ExternalContextFactory>
    public abstract class ExternalContextFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements FacesWrapper<ExternalContextFactory>

    ExternalContextFactory is a factory object that creates (if needed) and returns new ExternalContext instances, initialized for the processing of the specified request and response objects.

    There must be one ExternalContextFactory instance per web application that is utilizing JavaServer Faces. This instance can be acquired, in a portable manner, by calling:

       ExternalContextFactory factory = (ExternalContextFactory)
    FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.EXTERNAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
