/**
* This utility class is used by containers to communicate policy context
* identifiers and other policy relevant context to Policy
* providers. Policy providers use the policy context identifier
* to select the subset of policy to apply in access decisions.
*
* The value of a policy context identifier is a
* String and each thread has an independently
* established policy context identifier.
* A container will establish the thread-scoped value
* of a policy context identifier by calling the static
* setContextID method. The value of a thread-scoped policy
* context identifier is available (to Policy) by calling the
* static getContextID method.
*
* This class is also used by Policy providers to
* request additional
* thread-scoped policy relevant context objects from the calling container.
* Containers register container-specific PolicyContext handlers
* using the static registerHandler method.
* Handler registration is scoped to the class, such that the same handler
* registrations are active in all thread contexts. Containers may
* use the static method setHandlerData to
* establish a thread-scoped parameter that will be passed to handlers
* when they are activated by Policy providers. The
* static getContext method is used to activate a
* handler and obtain the corresponding context object.
*
* The static accessor functions provided by this class
* allow per-thread policy context values to be
* established and communicated independent of a common reference to a
* particular PolicyContext instance.
*
* The PolicyContext class may encapsulate
* static ThreadLocal instance variables to represent the policy context
* identifier and handler data values.
*
* The Application server must bundle or install the PolicyContext class, and
* the containers of the application server must prevent the methods of
* the PolicyContext class from being called from calling contexts that are not
* authorized to call these methods.
* With the exception of the getContextID and GetHandlerKeys methods, containers must
* restrict and afford access to the methods of the PolicyContext class to
* calling contexts trusted by the container to perform container access decisions.
* The PolicyContext class may satisfy this requirement (on behalf
* of its container) by rejecting calls made from an AccessControlContext that has not
* been granted the "setPolicy" SecurityPermission, and by ensuring
* that Policy providers used to perform container access decisions
* are granted the "setPolicy" permission.
