Interface ContextResolver<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the context

public interface ContextResolver<T>

Contract for a provider that supplies context information to resource classes and other providers. A ContextResolver implementation may be annotated with Produces to restrict the media types for which it will be considered suitable.
