Interface AWTContext

All Superinterfaces:

GUIContext

All Known Implementing Classes:

SWTEmbeddedAWTContext

public interface AWTContext
extends GUIContext

This interface defines a graphical context that could be used by application components to integrate them into a AWT-GUI on a workflow-client. The graphical context is created by a GUIManager and provided to the application component via SessionContext.getGUIContext(). The application component has to cast the returned GUIContext to this graphical context.

Using this context it is guaranteed that commands could be executed by the designated AWT-Dispatch-Thread via the methods java.awt.EventQueue.invokeAndWait(...) and java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(...) respectively.
