/**
 *  General purpose implemention of the application Context
 *  interface for general application use.  This class should
 *  be used in place of the original Context class.
 *
 *  This implementation uses a HashMap  (@see java.util.HashMap )
 *  for data storage.
 *
 *  This context implementation cannot be shared between threads
 *  without those threads synchronizing access between them, as
 *  the HashMap is not synchronized, nor are some of the fundamentals
 *  of AbstractContext.  If you need to share a Context between
 *  threads with simultaneous access for some reason, please create
 *  your own and extend the interface Context
