Class MapRequestContext

java.lang.Object
  com.ibm.policy.manager.MapRequestContext

public class MapRequestContext
extends java.lang.Object

Public implementation of RuleContext representing a generic Map Request. This is used to set up data for the underlying rule engine. This Map represents KEYWORD/OBJECT pairs that are understood by the rule engine. The OBJECT is the entity that is used to provide the data that the RULE (represented by the KEYWORD) requires.
There is also an Id that will be used as the basis for caching this instance. The cache will search for this Id, and if it exists, it will return the results that are cached. If the Id is different on every invokation of the policy call, then the cached value will never be used.
