Interface View

All Known Implementing Classes:

ViewImpl

public interface View

A View is the top of the containment hierarchy for ViewContexts. Note that due to external loading, not all ViewContexts in the hierarchy will necessarily reference this View as their own.

The View can be thought of as a factory for creating the root ViewContext. The single View instance is shared at the web app level, whereas a ViewContext is tied to a single Session.
