AegisContext (Apache CXF JavaDoc 3.5.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.cxf.aegis.AegisContext

```
public class AegisContext
extends Object
```
The Aegis Databinding context object. This object coordinates the data binding process: reading and writing XML. By default, this object sets up a default set of type mappings. This consists of two DefaultTypeMapping objects. The first is empty and has the Default, Java5, and XML TypeCreator classes configured. The second contains the standard mappings of the stock types. If a type can't be mapped in either, then the creators create a mapping and store it in the first one. The application can control some parameters of the type creators by creating a TypeCreationOptions object and setting properties. The application can add custom mappings to the type mapping, or even use its own classes for the TypeMapping or TypeCreator objects. Aegis, unlike JAXB, has no concept of a 'root element'. So, an application that uses Aegis without a web service has to either depend on xsi:type (at least for root elements) or have its own mapping from elements to classes, and pass the resulting Class objects to the readers. At this level, the application must specify the initial set of classes to make make use of untyped collections or .aegis.xml files. If the application leaves this list empty, and reads XML messages, then no .aegis.xml files are used unless the application has specified a Class<T> for the root of a particular item read. Specifically, if the application just leaves it to Aegis to map an element tagged with an xsi:type to a class, Aegis can't know that some arbitrary class in some arbitrary package is mapped to a particular schema type by QName in a mapping XML file. At the level of the CXF data binding, the 'root elements' are defined by the WSDL message parts. Additional classes that participate are termed 'override' classes.

    What URI identifies the type mapping for this context? When the XMLTypeCreator reads .aegis.xml file, it will only read mappings for this URI (or no URI). When the abstract type creator is otherwise at a loss for a namespace URI, it will use this URI.
