Fwd: Child Contexts

So why not make ObjectContext extend DataChannel?  BaseContext already
implements both anyway.  Having to cast it is not really intuitive /
friendly.

Here is how you create a child context in 3.2 (in 3.1 'newContext' was
called 'getContext', otherwise it is similar) :

ObjectContext context = runtime.newContext();
ObjectContext childContext = runtime.newContext((DataChannel) context);

I.e. the parent context is a channel of the child. The cast above is
possible since DataContext implements DataChannel.

Re: Child Contexts

Posted by Andrus Adamchik <an...@objectstyle.org>.
Mostly historical reasons - nesting support evolved over time and IIRC ROP version didn't have it initially. I think we can make this change now in 3.2.
