/**
 * The StateContext class maintains a Map of name/value pairs much like the
 * Log4j mapped diagnostic context (MDC). A StateContext,
 * is an instrument for passing augmentation data from different sources to
 * lower levels in the framework for each message received.
 * 
 * The StateContext is managed on a per thread basis. A child
 * thread automatically inherits a copy of the state context of its parent.
 * 

 * The class requires JDK 1.6 or above.
 * 

 * The StateContext is cleaned up after each request by removing the values set by that request,
 * since all threads are pooled and re-used. This is accomplished via a call to
 * StateContext.clear() in a finally processor within the StateChangePlugin.
