Interface ContextSource

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileContextSource, JdbcContextSource

public interface ContextSource

A context source has to supply a means of retrieving context scripts for creating dependency objects. It has a name which is strictly relative to its parent context, and it knows how to find all its child contexts. For instance, a FileContextSource implementation returns the name of the last directory in the path as its name, returns its subdirectories as its children, and can provide a FileInputStream given a filename.
