Class WTContextUpdate

java.lang.Object
  wt.feedback.WTContextUpdate

All Implemented Interfaces:

Externalizable, Serializable, MethodFeedback

public class WTContextUpdate
extends Object
implements MethodFeedback, Externalizable

Feedback object to carry updates to client's WTContext object. This class can be used by server-side methods to push updates to a client's WTContext as a side effect of performing an operation.

For example, if some client-side classes use the WTContext object to cache frequently used objects, server-side operations that change these objects can automatically push new values into the client's WTContext object. This is useful if the currently executing method does not normally carry such updated objects as part of its return value.

Supported API: true
Extendable: true
