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.

Providers implementing ContextResolver contract must be either programmatically registered in an API runtime or must be annotated with @Provider annotation to be automatically discovered by the runtime during a provider scanning phase.
