Interface CoderContext

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultValueCoder.Builder

public interface CoderContext
extends Serializable

A marker interface for an application-specific object that may be passed to a KeyCoder or ValueCoder. This object may be used to pass application context information from the application to the coder instance. The following methods accept a CoderContext:

• Key.append(Object, CoderContext)
• Key.decode(Object, CoderContext)
• Key.decodeDisplayable(boolean, Appendable, CoderContext)
• Value.put(Object, CoderContext)
• Value.get(Object, CoderContext)

This interface has no behavior; it simply marks classes that are intended for this purpose to enhance type safety. Note that CoderContext extends java.io.Serializable, meaning that any object you provide as a CoderContext must behave correctly when serialized and deserialized.
