Description Jaroslav Tulach 2003-06-24 13:27:50 UTC 
Somehow remove the part of ContextId that is
supposed to be subclassed and keep just the API
part. I would suggest something like:

public final class api.ContextId {
   // maybe nothing, maybe:

   public String getExternalId ();
}

and have a factory method in SPI:

ContextId spi.Settings.createContextId (...,
ContextIdSpi, ...)

where ContextIdSpi could have the necessary
methods for communication between the
implementation and the internals.

Generally I am suggesting a variant of

the API class. Thanks.
