public class Context
extends java.lang.Object

A context is an associative store that is accessible during the execution of the EVM, and thus usable by the Sceduler, Executor, RuleBase, Rule Instances, Activations and Jobs. In order to separate different users from each other, values can be accessed (get/put/remove) with a key.
