http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4321 Why is Context orthogonal to the Collections API [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-10-21 17:58 ------- Because the Context doesn't actually behave like a Map. For example, you can't store a null value for a key. However, we wanted to make sure that the Context was a simple and flexible mechanism, so it should be trivial for you to create utility wrappers that implement the Context interface that do what you want, say take a Properties or Map as an arg to the CTOR. This might be a nice contribution :) I am going to mark this as 'wontfix'. No rudeness is intended - there just aren't any other choices. Feel free to bring this up for discussion on user or dev lists.
