Interface WorkContext

All Known Subinterfaces:
  PrimitiveWorkContext

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AsciiWorkContext, LongWorkContext, SerializableWorkContext, StringWorkContext

    public interface WorkContext

`WorkContext` is a marker interface used for marshaling and unmarshaling user data in a `WorkArea`. The interfaces `WorkContextOutput` and `WorkContextInput` will only allow primtive types and objects implementing `WorkContext` to be marshaled. This limits the type surface area that needs to be dealt with by underlying protocols. `WorkContext` is analogous to `Externalizable` but with some restrictions on the types that can be marshaled. Advanced `Externalizable` features, such as enveloping, are not supported - implementations should provide their own versioning scheme if necessary. `WorkContext` implementations must provide a public no-arg constructor.

Method Summary
`void` | `readContext(WorkContextInput in)` Reads the implementation of `WorkContext` from the `WorkContextInput` data stream.
`void` | `writeContext(WorkContextOutput out)` Writes the implementation of `WorkContext` to the `WorkContextOutput` data stream.

Method Detail

### writeContext

### readContext

    void readContext(WorkContextInput in)
                     throws IOException

  Reads the implementation of `WorkContext` from the `WorkContextInput` data stream.

  Throws:
    `IOException`
