org.cishell.framework
Interface CIShellContext

All Known Implementing Classes:

LocalCIShellContext

public interface CIShellContext

The context by which algorithms in the framework can gain access to standard CIShell services. An instantiated CIShellContext must provide access to at least the default services (as of the 1.0 specification, the OSGi LogService, the OSGi PreferencesService, the CIShell defined DataConversionService, and the CIShell defined GUIBuilderService). Other services may be made available through this class, but anything beyond the standard services is not guaranteed.
