public interface RequestContextFactory

Interface for a RequestContext factory.

A request context factory is invoked by the framework at the start of the request chain. It is responsible for producing a RequestContext object which is bound to the request. The RequestContext object is a single object instance with which all downstream framework elements can consult.

The RequestContext object is scoped to the request.
